It takes years of careful observation, collaboration, ingenuity and sometimes a little luck to crack the code to breeding specific species. For several years, our progress was very limited.

(Give or take a few &#8211; you can see how this could be a difficult task!)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We had amazing success with our egg laying females this year with 41 out of 43 successfully laying their eggs! (Read more about how we helped this happen, what we changed and our ideas why <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/booming-year-for-frog-eggs\/\">ici<\/a>). This is great for our program. It means we have learned at the very least the \u201chow\u201d portion of getting females to release their eggs, even if the \u201cwhy\u201d is yet to be determined. Getting females to lay their eggs means that we will be able to minimize the number of females with egg binding, where the females retains their eggs through the end of the breeding season. Egg binding either results in infection and ultimately death or would require risky surgery which renders the females sterile. Getting eggs out of the females reliably was step number one.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we dream bigger! What if those eggs are actually fertile? In the past we have had poor fertility in the captive program, with most clusters under 10% fertility. This means that in a typical year, even if we get 30+ egg masses we would see only around 2000 tadpoles. When we are looking at breeding endangered species low fertility could be caused by on overwhelming number of factors.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is the quality of eggs and sperm poor?<\/li>\n<li>Is the water chemistry off? If so how is it off?<\/li>\n<li>What are the captive compared to wild water parameters?<\/li>\n<li>Is the nutrition of the frogs not appropriate? If so how?<\/li>\n<li>At what life stage is nutrition most important?<\/li>\n<li>Are the genetics of the captive population inbred or otherwise not compatible?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the list goes on!<\/p>\n<p>Once the eggs are laid all we can do is wait and see. Luckily for us, tadpole eggs are massive compared to some other species, and a lot easier to see since they are external to the animal and encased in clear jelly. In fact we can closely track the stages of the developing embryo through a process called Gosner Staging. This key below helps us to see the sequential progression of the eggs through the defined stages and compare between clutches. So once we have eggs we wait with baited breath, for the signs of development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-69npkum-ec04e0237e39fde415c0b2b10fdee474 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mrwc8lev-d734b7db42c1305c71fde7c352c7cc77\">\n.avia-image-container.av-mrwc8lev-d734b7db42c1305c71fde7c352c7cc77 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-mrwc8lev-d734b7db42c1305c71fde7c352c7cc77 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-mrwc8lev-d734b7db42c1305c71fde7c352c7cc77 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_hr  avia-builder-el-first'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-54077 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-54077 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/CountingTadpolesOneTwoSkipAFewNinetyNine20Thousand_GosnerStage.png' alt='' title='CountingTadpolesOneTwoSkipAFewNinetyNine20Thousand_GosnerStage'  height=\"738\" width=\"1019\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5vw8n7y-e6d7c0e6e04cbe2117d7693350138f33\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5vw8n7y-e6d7c0e6e04cbe2117d7693350138f33{\nheight:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5vw8n7y-e6d7c0e6e04cbe2117d7693350138f33 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrwc8uq7-ea7700a6fb73d601f3abf7e0086a6b62'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>The Gosner Staging System for Anurans, an amphibian development chart<br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-5gs4lgu-5abaf0962c2d55295b292ac76a5ac08e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_hr  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrwc7z54-c120e8cea126fe2849dde4a79eb0d21c'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Soon we start to see changes. We were thrown off by the very first egg mass where there was hardly any development. Disappointed, we thought, &#8220;Oh well, at least we learned how to get the females to lay eggs reliably, that\u2019s a huge achievement.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But\u2026.wait. The first egg mass was a dud, but the next ones are getting a blastopore, which looks like a white blotch (about stage 10), and cell cleavage. Soon the rest of the egg masses had developed to what we affectionately call the \u201cjelly bean\u201d stage (stage 15). And then we thought to ourselves\u2026is this actually happening?!?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, yes, it is! Well, we thought, &#8220;At least its April, the weather will be cool and development will be slow. As they start to hatch we can slowly count them and release them, since we can\u2019t possibly rear them all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But the weather forecast said &#8211; haha yeah right, how about summer in April instead! Daytime temperatures shot to 25+ and nights above 15. This meant our bounty of tadpoles grew very fast, hatched in record speed, and all at once.<\/p>\n<p>The team sprang into action. We arranged a release day in 5 days from first hatch and began to count tadpoles. Three staff members spent the next 5 days counting. Within the first day we had already counted more tadpoles than we would have in a normal year, over 3000, and we hadn\u2019t even made a dent. The next days we would see at least 4000 more per day. If you\u2019re doing the math with me you can see that number going up.<\/p>\n<p>Once the dust had settled and the spread sheet was compiled we had counted a <strong>whopping 20,514 tadpoles<\/strong>, give or take a few. It is generally accepted that to establish a species like a frog, it is necessary to release 5,000 animals a year for 5 years. <strong>Our production of 20,000 tadpoles this year alone is double the number we released in total over the past 10 years!<\/strong> We are in a much better position to establish new populations of this species as well as supplement exiting populations of this frog.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The release of these animals into our restored site dwarfs all previous releases at this site\u2026combined.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now with tadpoles counted and 1000 retained to rear throughout summer, we take a deep breath and prepare to drive our precious cargo to the release site for their big day. Stay tuned for our release day blog!<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone know where I can get 20,000 tiny seat belts?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-4vgoupa-b9c29b8c3178b8cad033e1e26af1e67e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-4vgoupa-b9c29b8c3178b8cad033e1e26af1e67e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-4vgoupa-b9c29b8c3178b8cad033e1e26af1e67e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last'><span class='hr-inner'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_3'  class='avia-section av-4dywizy-7690666089909722b1f9025471155dfe main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  blog-inner avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-14190'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<div  class='flex_column av-44enp0u-8d24a7a288d9ce91a874a5ec4d880530 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-21  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  author-section first flex_column_div'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-mrwcaoys-1f0b4cd44c11cea25cbd2ecd961d7445'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Andrea Gielens<\/h3>\n<h5 class=\"et_pb_member_position\">Lead Biologist &#8211; Fraser Valley Wetlands Recovery Program<em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/h5>\n<p>Andrea manages WPC&#8217;s captive breeding and release programs for the Oregon spotted frog and the coastal western painted turtle.
