Latency Periods and Reproductive Cycle of Breeding of Catfish
Keywords:
Induced Breeding, Marathwada, Ovaprim, Clarias batrachusAbstract
In the present study attempts were made to evaluate the breeding performance of Magur, CLARIAS BATRCHUS at different doses of ovaprim in laboratory condition. Different doses of ovaprim were tried on male and female fish, the optimum response was showed at dose 1 ml/kg body weight of female and 0.5 ml/kg body weight of male. The brooders weight range was 250-450 g. Breeding response studied under different parameters and showed latency period (h), fecundity, fertilization and hatching (%), 12±1.2, 4500±150, 80±2.1 and 75 ± 2.5 respectively. The present findings indicated that ovaprim @ 1ml/kg and 0.5 ml/kg body weight of female and male respectively showed maximum spawning response in CLARIAS BATRACHUS. This is the ideal method to increase the population of this fish in nature to conserve.
