| Summary: | The effect of administration of HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) on ovulation of Fugu niphobles
was studied. The female fish which exhibited distended abdomen were randomly assigned to four groups and
the treatments for groups 1, 2, 3 and 4 were 0, 100, 200 and 300 I. U of HCG per fish respectively. The
fish were injected immediately after the groups were established and unovulated females were reinjected after
72 hours. The dosage for each fish was calculated based on the body weight and expressed as 1.U/g body weight.
The ovulatory success in fish administered with 0, 1, 2, 3 and 41. U of HCG/g body weight was 40%, 83 %,
70%, 90% and 80% respectively. This indicated that fish in the control group could also ovulate in captivity
and that administration of HCG would enable a higher degree of ovulatory success. |
