Oncorhynchus mykiss.
All female and triploid eyed rainbow trout eggs.
For organic and commercial finfish rearing for food, sport fisheries and stream restocking.
All female eggs.
All female eggs are preferred by commercial trout farmers throughout the world to maximize their farm's potential through these significant benefits:
- Firmer, more palatable flesh.
- Better feed conversion.
- Higher quality, healthier fish due to fewer males.
- Less unmarketable, precocious males at dress out time.
- Excellent market presentation of trout at any time of year.
Triploid trout eggs.
3N sterile trout with +99% induction rates in the triploid process, presenting many benefits:
- Better flesh quality compared to diploids.
- Growth to larger sizes as all energy is transferred to growing rather than reproduction.
- Comparable growth to diploid populations early in the life cycle.
- More efficient and productive use of hatchery facilities from removal of reproducing fish.
- Fish are suitable for release without genetic impacts, as they cannot breed with native populations.
These benefits make triploid fish eggs the perfect solution for farmers needing a sterile salmonid for the following situations:
- Growth past the normal period of reproduction.
- Production of trophy sized fish for recreational purposes.
- Prevention of reproduction in released or escaped fish.
The Jumpers strain is selected via genomic selection for high resistance to Bacterial Cold Water Disease. Eggs are approximately 4.8 mm to 5.3 mm on average. To ensure your alevins or fry survive and grow well we recommend feeding premium trout starter diets after hatching and swim-up with a size range of 0.2 mm to 0.6 mm.
The Jumper strain rainbow eggs are offered between April and July.
The Jumper group was originally acquired decades ago by the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife from lakes in British Columbia due to its reputation as a sporting fish and was for some time dedicated to stocking private and public waters in Washington State.
The first selection process performed on this stock was to set screens in the raceways with Jumper stock low enough that those fish with the desire could jump over the rack. The fish that jumped the rack was selected, with the idea being these fish would provide the best fight for anglers.
Despite these origins, this group began undergoing quantitative breeding selection for the same criteria as other groups and should be considered the same in terms of growth performance. In addition, the Jumper group has been subject to multiple generations of genomic selection for resistance to Flavobacterium Psychrophilum infections (BCWD/RTFS) and shows significant resistance to such challenges.
