Spawning | brook-tout

Manually by humans

First, the trout are prepped by putting them into a big tank which is filled with water
The fish have to be underwater before they can be spawned
A person dips a fish into water and picks it up over a bowl
The person squeezes their hands together on the fish on the
bottom of fish and moves left and right to push all of the eggs out of the trout and into a bucket
After the eggs from the female trout are collected they are fertilized by a male brook trout

A female will prepare her nest by moving her tail to make sure there is a nice landing spot for her eggs
First the two trout rub against each other
Then the female expels a stream of eggs
After that, the father rejects a white cloud of sperm
This happens 4 or 5 times
A healthy female can lay 11,000 to 17,000 eggs
Once the spawning is done then the female will likely leave the area
The male will probably stay for a little bit to protect the nest
