Induced spawning of siban fish Cyclocheilichthys apogon using Ovaprim

Abstract

Background: The objective of the present study was to examine the effect of Ovaprim dosage on the latency period, relative number of ovulated eggs, fertilization, hatching, and survival rates of the siban fish, Cyclocheilichthys apogon. Methods: Three dosages of Ovaprim were tested in this study, namely 0.3 ml kg-1 of broodfish body weight, 0.5 ml kg-1 body weight, and 0.7 ml kg-1 body weight, plus control (without Ovaprim). Results: The results showed that the best latency period, relative number of ovulated eggs, fertilization, hatching, and survival rates were obtained at a dosage of 0.7 ml kg -1 body weight. Conclusions: The best dosage of Ovaprim for siban fish from the dosages tested, was determined to be 0.7 ml kg-1 body weight.

Hormone Application for Artificial Breeding towards Sustainable Aquaculture - A Review

“…Ovaprim has been widely used in Asia and the United States to induce spawning in marine and freshwater fish (Abbas et al, 2019;Nuraini et al, 2017). Ovaprim has been reported to stimulate spawning in seurukan fish successfully (Osteochilus vittatus), selais (Ompok hypophthalmus), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), malimali (Labiobarbus festivus), lelan fish (Osteochilus pleurotaenia), yellowfin porgy (Acanthopagrus latus), stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis), John's snapper (Lutjanus johnii), and mrigal carp (Cirrhinus mrigala) (Abbas et al, 2019;Mosha, 2018;Nuraini et al, 2017;Surnar et al, 2015;Watson et al, 2009). A study led by Watson et al (2009) found that after injecting several species with Ovaprim, the average success rates increased to 50% (ovulation) and 54% (spermiation), and only 1.3% deaths were recorded, showing the efficiency of Ovaprim as hormonal therapy for artificial breeding.…”

Pemijahan Induk Ikan Gurami (Osphronemus GouramyLac) Kampar di Desa Sawah Baru Kecamatan Kampa, Kabupaten Kampar

“…Ovaprim adalah kombinasi dari analog salmon Gonadotropin Realising Hormone dengan anti dopamine (sGnRH-a). Hormon ini telah berhasil di terapkan untuk menginduksi pemijahan pada sebagian besar jenis ikan air tawar seperti selais (Ompok rhadinurus) (Nuraini et al, 2013), Mali-mali (Aryani, 2017) dan ikan siban (Cyclocheilichthys apogon) (Nuraini et al, 2017). Penggunaan ovaspec dengan dosis tertentu pada dasarnya bertujuan untuk mempercepat proses pematangan dan ovulasi.…”
