How do I participate in the Conservation project?
If an eligible breeder identifies a species on the Conservation project list they would like to try to breed, they should contact the CDAS Breeders’ Award Chairperson or CDAS President and register their interest.
CDAS will then procure the broodstock and supply them at no cost to the breeder. Assistance from the breeder to locate suitable fish may be required.
Once the breeder successfully breeds the fish, the offspring will be sold through the monthly CDAS auction with all proceeds retained by CDAS.
After the cost of the broodstock has been “repaid” to CDAS, the breeder will be offered the choice of retaining the broodstock and returning all remaining offspring to CDAS, or retaining the remaining offspring and returning the broodstock.
Finer details such as:
* A suitable time-frame in which the breeder can attempt to breed the fish
* What happens if the broodstock dies
* The size at which offspring will be sold
* And the amount to be “repaid”
will be agreed between the breeder and the CDAS Breeders’ Award Chairperson and CDAS President on a case by case basis before the fish are handed over.
