Preliminary Study on the Effect of Watermelon Juice and Milk Solution on De-Adhesion, Developmental Stages and Hatching Rate of Eggs and Survival of Fry of Clarias Gariepinus
Abstract:Sticky layer of Clarias gariepinus eggs cause the clumping of eggs immediately after fertilization, this create low oxygen, and increase pathogenic infection, thereby reducing fertilization and hatching rate hence reduces in mass production of C. gariepinus seed. Although various substances are use in the removal of the sticky layer, no information is available about the use of watermelon. Therefore, the present study, aim in exploring the potential of using watermelon in removing the sticky layer of C. gariep… Show more
