Do we Spawn or Breed our fish?

I see it described both ways on all the forums, but which is correct?

Back it the day, we would always talk of successfully getting our fish to spawn. Wikipedia says,

“Most aquatic animals, apart from aquatic mammals, reproduce through a process of spawning.”

It also states,

“Breeding is the reproduction, that is, producing of offspring, usually animals or plants.”

I think I’m going to stick with my “old school” ways and use the term spawning here in the journal.
