Breeding saltwater fish in freshwater - now possible?

I almost put this on the homepage as it is a HUGE story if true - but scant details and evidence gave me pause - regardless a big FYI! Do you believe it?

Two British scientists have discovered a way of enabling sea fish to breed in fresh water.



The breakthrough has major implications for the world's dwindling fish populations, such as cod, a favourite in fish and chip shops, which has been harmed by overfishing.

i would say it may be possible considering salmon leave the ocean and swim upstream to rivers and creeks to spawn. if scientists understood how the salmon is able to do this and are able to replicate this with other fish then.....sure, why not believe it.

 

Idk man.... sounds kinda "fishy" to me lol..... granted it would be awesome! If it was true.... I'm here to see what others have to say as well, as I know almost nothing about saltwater fish and their reproductive behavior/needs....

Great topic for a thread Matt!
