Abstract:Attempting to improve reproduction performance and ichthyo prophylaxis, this study evaluated the effects of maintaining silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) broodstock in different saline concentrations (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8‰)
“…These results are in agreement with the findingds of the present study. Evidence to support this is available in another study of Martins et al (2015) who investigated the effect of salinity on artificial reproduction of silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) and reported 85%-93% fertilization rate. Similar results have been reported by Abdel-Hakim et al (2008).…”

“…Akinwande et al (2012) reported hatchability rate 79.1%-83.3% in Clarias spp. Martins et al (2015) while studying on some other fish species reported significant results (83.3%) at 0‰ salinity for silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen. Young-Sulem et al (2008) obtained maximum hatchability (65.3%) at various turbidity levels for 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.
