BAP—Breeder’s Award Program

The Breeder’s Award Program allows GAAS members to earn recognition and awards for their successful spawning and raising of different species of fish and aquatic animals.
 
The Breeder’s Award Program (BAP) is designed to promote an active interest in and to further knowledge of the spawning of fishes and to give recognition for achievement in this area. The BAP also provides members access to diverse fish species and promotes advancement in hobby. The BAP is designed to benefit all active members in good standing of GAAS.
 
To get credit for fish spawns, the appropriate form should be completed (see forms below), and at least 6 fry are turned in at a regular club meeting, August picnic, December dinner, or at GAAS auctions (there are some exceptions with particularly rare species).
 
The fry should be approximately 30 to 90 days old. The age of the fry can be older if the fry are particularly small, as we want these fish to have the best chance at life once they are auctioned off. They will need to be big enough to eat common foods, etc.
