Sustainability of the aquaculture industry can be secure through the induce breeding technique. One way that induce breeding can do is to increase the rate of maturation and ovulation in making sure the availability of good quality fish seed all year round. Here, we investigate how Ovaprim hormone impact the reproduction of Clarias gariepinusincluding spawning rate, fecundity, hatching and survival rate. For this purpose, Six broodstocks were divided in three experimental treatments and injected intramuscularly with different doses of Ovaprim hormone of T1: 0.25ml/kg for female and 0.125ml/kg for male, T2: 0.5ml/kg for female and 0.25ml/kg for male and T3: 1.0ml/kg for female and 0.5ml/kg for male. According to our results, broodstock injected with Ovaprim hormone of dose of T3: 1.0ml/kg for female and 0.5ml/kg for male showed higher eggs production and hatching rate compared to other treatment. The results of this study suggest that a dosage of 1.0ml/kg Ovaprim for female and 0.5ml/kg for male have a better effect on the reproductive parameter of Clarias gariepinus.
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.
