“…In another study (Sivakami, 1982) the minimum size (230 mm) was reported as the length at first maturity of fish. However, our results on maturity and spawning season are in conformity with the studies reported (Raizada et al, 2013;Sridhar et al, 1998).…”

“…Reproduction is a necessary parameter in the application of population dynamics to assess the state of the exploited resources and facilitate their management (Sley et al, 2012). The information on reproductive traits and morphometric relationships of O. bimaculatus from different wild population is not available except some fragmentary literature (Banik et al, 2011;Mishra et al, 2013;Raizada et al, 2013;Rao and Karamchandani, 1986;Sridhar et al, 1998). The present study is the first attempt to determine the intraspecific variation of the reproductive traits from 13 geographically isolated populations.…”

“…To date, information concerning the reproductive potential of butter catfish is very limited and despite its economic importance, no systematic studies have been done. Previous studies have established length weight relationship (Sivakami, 1987), condition factor (Parameshwaran et al, 1970;Qayyum and Qasim, 1965), spawning biology (Raizada et al, 2013;Rao and Karamchandani, 1986;Sridhar et al, 1998) and genetic characterization (Malakar et al, 2013). The life history of O. bimaculatus has earlier been described by many researchers (Chakrabarty et al, 2007;Choudhuri, 1962;Mukherjee and Das, 2002;Rao, 1981;Sarkar et al, 2005); however, no attempts have been made on comparative analysis of reproductive traits of fish from different wild population.…”

This study demonstrates the comparative pattern of reproductive parameters viz. sex ratio, size at first gonadal maturity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), fecundity, egg dimension of O. bimaculatus analyzed from 13 different rivers during 2011-2013. It was observed that females start to mature earlier than males and mean size at first maturity in male and female varied considerably between the different populations. The reproductive period of fish were extended from April -August while in Southern rivers it was extended from March to July. The results indicated three types of reproductive patterns of O. bimaculatus in terms of age at first sexual maturity and absolute fecundity and distinct variation was observed across different rivers. The meanabsolute fecundity varied significantly between the rivers and was grouped in to three categories: (i) high absolute fecundity (ii) medium fecundity and (iii) low fecundity. The results indicated significant and positive correlation between absolute fecundity and total length, body weight and ovary weight in all the rivers (P<0.05). The oocyte distribution during the maturity season was consistent within the ovary but more fluctuations were observed within different population. This study provides quantitative account in to the comparative reproductive potential and inter-population reproductive strategies for the first time.

“…In this study, fertilization and hatching rate of eggs were found 78.67±1.33% and 70.21±0.73%, respectively at 24.5±1.0°C temperatures. More or less similar fertilization and hatching rate was found in different fish species (Raizada et al, 2013;Hossen et al, 2014c). 3.3.…”

“…Vigorous thrashing movements ( Figure 4P) of the embryo were also noticed about 1-2 h before hatching ( Figure 5A) and finally the embryo hatched out ( Figure 5B) at 23 h. Similar result has also been reported in case of O. pabo and it took 22 h for hatching after fertilization (Sarma et al, 2012). Similarly O. bimacuatus hatched out in 21±1 h post fertilization (hpf) and yolk-sac completely absorbed in 48 hpf (Raizada et al, 2013). It was also reported that C. batrachus (Roy et al, 2019), H. fossilis (Puvaneswari et al, 2009), Mastacembelus aculeatus (Sahoo et al, 2007) and M. cavasius (Rahaman et al, 2004) took 26 h, 23-24 h, 31.45 h and 17 to 21 h, respectively for hatching.…”

Pabdah catfish, Ompokpabdawas collected from the Old Brahmaputra river and successfully induced to breed by injecting pituitary gland extract to evaluate spawning performances and developmental stages under a photo microscope from February 2018 to August 2018. In this study, absolute fecundity of the O. pabdafemales varied from 6,676 to 20,410 eggs per fish. The GSI value of male and female was lower during September and gradually attained its maximum level in June with the highest average value 6.75±0.2 and 1.053±0.2 in female and male, respectively. The average fertilization and hatching rate of eggs were found 78.67±1.33% and 70.21±0.73%, respectively at 24.5±1.0°C. Fertilized eggs were brownish in color, very transparent and adhesive in nature with 1.0 to 1.2 mm in diameter. Cleavage stages were completed at 1.50 h of post fertilization and it eventually took 23.00 h for hatching. Larva was appeared with prominent three pairs of barbells after 12.00 h of hatching. It took 3 d post hatching to absorb their yolk sac and feeding exogenously. The present work supplemented to the deficient information on detailed spawning and developmental biology of O. pabdain order to save this species from extinction. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res.

A 90‐day long indoor aquarium trial was conducted to assess the consequence of temperature on the growth, blood chemistry and histology of gill, intestine and liver tissues of Ompok bimaculatus juveniles. Homogeneous juveniles were randomly stocked into four different treatments of 20, 35 30 and 25℃ (room temperature as control), and these replications were marked as T20, T30, T35 and T25, respectively. Juvenile fish were fed with commercial diets at 5% body weight three consecutive times a day. Fish in T30 showed significantly higher growth performances and a higher percentage of specific growth rate (SGR%) in comparison to the control group in T25 (p < 0.05). However, no significant (p > 0.05) changes in SGR% were reported between T30 and T35 groups. Haematological analyses showed significant (p < 0.05) decreases in haemoglobin (Hb) and white blood cell (WBC) in T20 and T35 compared to control T25. Significantly higher Hb and WBC were observed in T30 among treatments. No significant changes (p > 0.05) in red blood cells (RBC) were observed between T25 and T30, while T20 and T35 showed significantly lower RBC. Histological analyses revealed that the liver and gill tissues were well‐shaped in T30 compared to distinctive pathology in other treatments. Again, the apparent formation of intestinal villi height was highest observed in T30 in comparison to other groups. It is concluded that the highest growth performance and physiological development of butter catfish would be obtained at 30℃ rearing temperatures.
