==Aquaculture== Some commercially important fish are mouthbrooders, most notably among the [[tilapiines]] and [[arowana]]s. Fry harvesting, getting the brooding fish to open its mouth and release the fry, is important if the fry are to be reared artificially. In the case of endangered species, such as [[Asian arowana]], harvesting may be supervised by an official to certify that the fish farm is a genuine producer of captive-bred fish.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dragonfish.com/photo28.htm|title=Fish tank harvest|publisher=Dragonfish|access-date=2007-03-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dragonfish.com/photo31.htm|title=RTG harvest captured by video camera, 26 September 2001|publisher=Dragonfish|access-date=2007-03-13}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dragonfish.com/photo32.htm|title=Finally captured on camera, "the magical moment"!|publisher=Dragonfish|access-date=2007-03-13}}</ref>
