Abstract Few mature female bullseye puffer have been observed to spawn in captivity. The ovary appears to develop to late vitellogenesis, but not to complete final oocyte maturation (FOM). Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analogue (LHRHa) treatment induced the spawning of good quality eggs in both wild and captive brood fish.
