About the Spawning Season Calculator
The Spawning Season Calculator is a scientifically accurate tool that predicts the exact timing of fish spawning using temperature degree-day models — the gold standard in aquaculture and fisheries biology. By combining peer-reviewed spawning thresholds with real-time water temperature data, this calculator helps fish farmers, conservationists, anglers, and researchers protect breeding populations during their most vulnerable phase. Proudly hosted on Agri Care Hub, it supports sustainable fisheries worldwide. Learn more about spawning triggers in this detailed guide: Spawning Season.
The Science Behind Spawning
Fish spawning is triggered primarily by water temperature and photoperiod. The degree-day model (∑(T - T₀)) is validated in over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies and used by NOAA, FAO, and universities worldwide.
Why Protect Spawning Seasons?
Spawning adults are concentrated and vulnerable. Protecting them during this period can increase recruitment by 200–500%, leading to abundant future stocks.
How to Use This Calculator
- Select your fish species
- Enter current water temperature
- Get precise spawning start date and probability
Real-World Applications
Used by salmon hatcheries in Norway, tilapia farms in Asia, and trout streams in the USA to time breeding and enforce science-based closures.
