“…The present study is in accordance with the observations on total fecundity of previous works, which was found to be 7706 eggs for the F130 female group. The total fecundity of C. batrachus broodstock in other studies was reported to be significantly lower than in the present study (Charan et al, 2016;Dhara & Saha, 2013;Sheikh et al, 2018;Srivastava et al, 2012), which might be related broodstock management. The present study also revealed that the decreasing level of relative fecundity correlated with the increasing body weight.…”

The Asian catfish, Clarias magur, is an endangered fish species, which is immensely important due to its high commercial value in India and other South-East Asian countries.Various anthropogenic activities and natural habitat loss have greatly impacted the biodiversity of C. magur in natural water bodies, leading to the addition of this species to the endangered species list. The development of captive spawning and selection of an ideal broodstock size are critical steps to maximize the efficiency and robustness of conservation efforts for the catfish. An induced spawning experiment was conducted to ascertain the reproductive performance, egg and larval quality of catfish broodstock from fish with varying body weights. Five female C. magur broodfish from each of the following size ranges, F65 (65 ± 5.0); F130 (130 ± 7.9), F180 (180 ± 3.5) and F250 (253 ± 9.7g), were selected along with male broodfish with the same body weight range. The present study's results revealed that the stripping response was higher (F = 2.06; p = 0.15) for medium-sized F180 magur female broodstock; however, no significant differences were observed for this group. Total (F = 20.79; p < 0.001) and relative fecundity (F = 3.09; p = 0.057) were found to be significantly higher for F250 and F65 broodfish respectively. Total fecundity had a strong significant positive correlation (r = 0.99; p = 0.012) and also had significant linear regression relation (R 2 = 0.98; p = 0.012) to maternal size. Hatching rate was observed to be significantly higher (F = 7.82; p = 0.002) for the medium-sized broodfish, F130. The medium-sized broodstock of 130-180 g had strong positive influence on the growth and survival of the progeny, while F250 broodfish produced poor-quality larvae, which resulted in reduced larval growth performance and survival. Specific growth rate (SGR) and thermal growth coefficient (TGC) were also found to be significantly higher for F130 female broodstock. Hence, the selection of medium-sized (130-180) or 1-to 2-year-old female broodstock had a significant effect on the reproductive performance, egg and larval quality of magur in captivity. The results from this study can be utilized as helpful and practical information enhancing selection protocols for the hatchery operators to select ideal broodstock based on size, enabling the production of viable egg and larvae in indoor conditions and a scalable seed production system.

“…In parallel with our finding, previous literature [ 4 , 36 ] documented that the broodstock fecundity was not greatly affected by various environmental conditions. Nevertheless, an opposite outcome was also noted in Clarias batrachus [ 24 ] and Setipinna phasa [ 25 ]. The wild and captive fish oocytes’ weight and ripeness were demonstrated to be significantly different.…”

“…Many studies exist on the comparative analysis of wild and captive broodstock reproductive performance [ 10 , 24 , 25 ], biochemical composition [ 10 , 26 – 30 ], amino acid profile [ 26 , 28 ], and ovarian histological investigation [ 4 , 10 ] in different species of fish. However, there is a lack of comparative analysis of reproductive development and tissue biochemical composition in the wild and captive S. aor female broodstock.…”

Long-whiskered catfish Sperata aor is a freshwater catfish known for its supreme flesh quality and fast growth, whose captive-reared broodstock denotes a difficult challenge for aquaculture. The reproductive dysfunctions in long-whiskered catfish raised in tank conditions were observed by comparing tissue biochemical composition and ovarian histology of wild female broodstock. Sixty (60) female broodstocks were used in the current study, consisting of 30 reared at sandy-muddy soil tank bottoms in captive conditions and 30 wild individuals collected from the haor basin during the breeding season. The fish reproductive state was investigated using the biometric and reproductive parameters, biochemical composition and levels of amino acids in the different tissues, and histological analysis of ovarian development. Results revealed that the biometrical parameters of wild and captive female broodstocks exhibited no remarkable difference (p > 0.05). Nevertheless, the wild fish had remarkably higher (p < 0.05) GSI (8.73%), oocyte weight (0.45 mg/egg), and ripeness (27.08%) in comparison with captive-reared broodstock. The total length and body weight, body weight and ovary weight, ovipositor diameter and ovary weight, and GSI and HSI displayed a positive relationship with R2 = 1, R2 = 1, R2 = 0.993, and R2 = 0.973, respectively, for wild broodstock, while R2 = 0.994, R2 = 0.806, R2 = 0.804, and R2 = 0.896, respectively, for captive broodstock. Additionally, the proximate composition in oocytes and liver tissues in both broodstocks did not differ significantly (p > 0.05). However, two essential amino acids (EAA), i.e., lysine and phenylalanine, and two non-essential amino acids, i.e., glutamic acid and glycine, were highly significant differences (p < 0.05) in the oocytes and liver of wild broodstock compared to the captive-reared broodstock. On the other hand, the EAA, e.g., isoleucine, threonine, leucine, and arginine, were highly dominated in both wild and captive female brood oocytes and liver. The ovarian histological slides from each fish group showed three oocytes developmental stages that indicated the asynchronous-reproductive ovarian oocytes of this fish. This study may be useful to fully understand the factors affecting the spawning and reproduction of S. aor broodstock, crucial for management in captive conditions as well as conservation and protection for sustainable aquaculture management of S. aor.

“…Ovaprim dimanfaatkan sebagai bahan hormon sintetis komersial yang telah lazim dan luas digunakan dalam kegiatan pemijahan ikan di lapangan, terutama spesies ikan endemik atau liar yang baru didomestikasi untuk dikembangbiakkan. Peranan ovaprim dalam menginduksi pemijahan ikan liar hasil tangkapan tampak pada hasil penelitian terhadap ikan benni (Barbus sharpeyi) (Kahkesh et al, 2010), lele lokal (Clarias batrachus) (Charan et al, 2016), Longspine scraper (Capoeta trutta Heckel, 1843) (Zadmajid, 2016;Zadmajid et al, 2017), Levantine scraper (Capoeta damascina Valenciennes, 1842) (Zadmajid et al, 2018), dan nothern pike (Esox lucius) (Cejko et al, 2018). Ovaprim juga telah banyak diaplikasikan untuk mempercepat pemijahan ikan hias komersial yang relatif sulit untuk memijah secara alami.…”
