Misconception about triploid fish is they dont put energy to spawn. They still have the parts and sill have the spawning urges. They are triploid XXX and have an extra set of chromosomes this is mostly female fish. I have read some studies where males still can reproduce they have the ability to make normal sets of one chromosome but lake the ability to release sperm, others do have the ability. Most triploid fish released are female because they are triploid and have the extra set on chromosomes and when the male adds his dna the eggs from female cant be fertilized. I have read lots of studies on this, here is one that has to do with local waters-ish.
