Impact of triploids on meat quality and yield in brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) across seasonal maturation stages

The maturation process in salmonids, particularly Salvelinus fontinalis , under artificial breeding conditions is associated with phenomena that reduce production yield. Triploid populations are not affected by gonadal maturation, suggesting that triploidy could mitigate these losses. However, the impact of triploidy on meat quality requires thorough evaluation. This study compares diploid males, diploid females, and triploid individuals from pre-mature spring and mature autumn populations. Post
