Studies on the Breeding of Pangasius sutchi Using Different Inducing Agents

摘要

A breeding experiment on Pangasius sutchi was conducted from July 2008 to September 2008 in a hatchery in West Bengal, India, using three different inducing agents, each injected at two different dosages: carp pituitary extract (CPE) and two synthetic hormones, Ovaprim and Ovatide. The fertilization rate was 82% to 91%. Hatching took place within 34 to 36 hours from the time of fertilization, with a hatching rate 73% to 79%. The response to spawning with CPE was best with Ovatide and Ovaprim in terms of percentage of fertilization, high hatching rate, and ease of stripping.View full textDownload full textKeywords Pangasius sutchi , inducing agent, carp pituitary extract, Ovaprim, Ovatide, spawningRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10454438.2011.549782
