Oodev hormone application has been applied to stimulate gonadal maturity so that fish fry could be available outside the spawning season. This research aimed to study the effect of Oodev hormone on the gonadal maturity of asian redtail catfish Hemibagrus nemurus (Valenciennes, 1840). This research method used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 doses treatments, i.e 0, 0,25, 0,50, 1,00 ml/kg. A total of 8 fish were used as replications for each treatment. The parameters measured were the gonado somatic index (GSI) and egg diameter. The results showed that the effect of Oodev hormone on GSI and egg diameter was significantly different (P<0.05). A higher Oodev hormone dose caused an increase of GSI and egg diameter size. The recommended Oodev dose for application is 1 ml/kg.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
