Sydney - Wednesday - March 28: (RWE Australian Business News) - Clean Seas Tuna Ltd (ASX code: CSS) says it has successfully induced reproductive maturation among male Southern Bluefin Tuna (SBT) broodstock housed in the company's purpose-built, land-based breeding facility at Arno Bay. The company claims it is the first time in the world that reproductive maturation of SBT has been achieved under controlled conditions and is a major step towards achieving the company's long-term goal of breeding and growing out SBT from its own broodstock with the goal of duplicating SBT wild catch, which is currently subject to a strict international quota system. Chairman Mr Hagen Stehr said the world-first breakthrough was achieved using hormonal therapy developed in Europe to mimic the natural production of hormones by wild fish and carried out in Clean Seas' Arno Bay breeding facility, which was developed with the funding assistance of a Federal Government Commercial Ready Grant. He said the breeding breakthrough was undertaken with the cooperation and supervision of internationally acclaimed tuna scientists Professor Christopher Bridges of the University of Dusseldorf and Dr Constantinos Mylonas of the Hellenic Centre for Marine Research.
