Broodstock can also be sourced from wild populations where they are harvested and held in maturation tanks before their seed is collected for grow-out to market size[2] or the juveniles returned to the sea to supplement natural populations.[1] This method, however, is subject to environmental conditions and can be unreliable seasonally, or annually.[2] Broodstock management can improve seed quality and number through enhanced gonadal development and fecundity.[3]
