Abstract

The formulation of synthetic hormones, Ovatide and Ovaprim was tested for the induced breeding in major Indian and Chinese carps vizCtenopharyngodon idella (grass carp), Hypophthalmichthys molitrix (silver carp), Labeo rohita (Rohu), Cirrhims mrigala (Mrigal). Six pairs each of grass carp, silver carp, Rohu and Mrigal were stimulated with formulation of synthetic hormones ovatide and ovaprim for spawning, fertilization and fecundity rate. Results indicated that 100% spawning was achieved in studied carps with both the hormones; however, differential responses were shown by different carps in regard to fecundity and fertilization rate to each tested hormone. In response to ovaprim, highest average fecundity values (89441) and fertilization rate (70 %) were recorded in Silver carps. Ovatide induced similar tendency in Grass carps where fecundity was 88015 and fertilization rate 97 %. Overall, results of this study suggested that ovatide induced maximum fecundity and fertilization in grass while ovaprim in silver carps.
