The Breeder’s Registry is a nonprofit, centralized information source on the reproduction of marine organisms, with emphasis on the “ornamental” species. Most of the marine organisms kept in aquaria are not of commercial “food fish” interest. The BR spawning report database attempts to consolidate ornamental mariculture information into one location and make it available to the world via this website. Occasionally, you may see links on our pages to pertinent reference books or other items available for purchase on Amazon. As an Amazon Associate, The Breeder’s Registry may earn some revenue from qualified purchases and we appreciate your purchasing though us.
We invite anyone to submit a Spawning Report – you do NOT have to have raised the larvae to submit a Spawning Report.
Receive notices of new Spawning Reports, news about breeding successes and failures and the most cutting edge breeding techniques by the world’s best breeders.
