Dietary manipulation and hormonal biotechnology in advancing gonadal maturation for quality seed production of Indian major carps and catfish
A. K. Pandey and the National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, India
Recent advances in fish endocrinology have led to a better understanding of the hormonal factors involved in the control of gamete production, mode of their action and regulation of their secretion during different stages of the reproductive cycle. The knowledge of nutrition also periodically refines the technology of production of quality gametes for aquaculture. However, till date, we are only in a position to advance reproduction by a few months or weeks. The artificial propagation technique, presently used, needs constant refinement for obtaining quality fish seed at any time of the year, as demanded by modern aquaculture practices.
