Cecil...I know you are on the aquaponics boards a lot now. I left them because there was still a lot more myth than fact on so many...plus some users got really tweaked if you pointed out some of the myths. And, I stopped supplying the fingerlings, though I still get calls from customers finding me on old posts, and most claim not getting what is claimed from other suppliers..so I may start again.
Bred "Super males" was one of those myths...true "super males" are genetically modified, not hybridized, and cost about $30,000 each. true ones do produce 95-98% male offspring. The bred "supermales" still reproduce random mixes of offspring sex, or are sterile. Chances are fish farms, or those buying 1000+ fish get them form TilTec or other large suppliers of sex modified male fry. Several of those large fry suppliers don't intentionally mislead buyers that the fish are sex modified, as that is all they sell.
