A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON HORMONE OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED IN CAPTIVE CONDITIONS FOR ARTIFICIAL BREEDING AND SEED PRODUCTION OF MAGUR (CLARIAS BATRACHUS)

Abstract

This review was meant to foster a brood supply of Magur (Clarias batrachus), counterfeit rearing, and seed creation under hostage conditions. Fifteen sets of brood C. batrachus were used in the trial. The farm raised the broodfish until they were mature enough to spawn by feeding them artificial food for four to five months prior to the beginning of the breeding season. In this analysis, the broodfish were actuated with WOVA-FH (1 ml.kg-1 body weight) and HCG (2272 IU.kg-1 body weight) hormones. The broods were given a single infusion of all the medicines. The review was directed at the initiated production of magur (Clarias batrachus) at Sanjeev Agrawal Global Educational (SAGE) University, Bhopal, from March to August 2022. Physically full-growth, sound, healthy male and female fish were collected from the brood stock lakes for prompt reproduction. The fish were then moved to clean, microbe-free molding tanks for 7-8 hours. During molding, a consistent glimmer of water was given by keeping the male and female isolated. The fish were then independently gauged and infused intramuscularly with WOVA-FH and HCG hormones. Only females were infused at a 45° point in the caudal locale. Approximately 23–24 hours postinfusion, the testicles from the male fish were removed and blended with stripping eggs for treatment. The brooding time frame for the prepared eggs was 23–30 hours for each of the medicines. The fertilization rates were 73.22±11.32 and 84.22±6.24%, and the hatching rates were 78.53±12.12 and 86.79±6.94% for the WOVA-FH and HCG treatments respectively.
