The invention provides for a process that enables live-bearing fresh water fish to live and breed in a salt water environment such as an aquarium. The process starts with a live birth of fry in an aquarium where the salinity of the water matches the salinity of amniotic fluids. Once the fry stabilize, the salinity can be gradually increased to match the salinity of a standard salt water aquarium. The fry and their offspring mature, live, and breed in salt water with no future intervention.

The present invention provides a method for inducing gamete maturation in marine worms of the family arenicolidae and which exhibit epidemic spawning. In the method, male and/or female worms in a housing substrate (such as sand) in sea water are maintained at a temperature of 4 to 8.degree. C. for 14 to 24 days, preferably 5 to 7.degree. C. for 20 to 22 days. Spawning of the worms can them be induced either by exposure to suitable spawning promoting hormones or by raising the temperature of the ...
