Evaluation of induced breeding of Pimelodus blochii nicuro (telostei, pimelodidae) using different inducing hormone
Journal Title: Revista MVZ Cordoba - Year 2013, Vol 18, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective. Evaluate the effect of two hormonal inducers in induced breeding of nicuro Pimelodus blochii. Materials and methods. The experimental process used sexually mature adults exposed to three intramuscular treatments, a single dose of 0.25 mL/g Ovaprim® (OVAP) (T1), 0.5 mL/kg of OVAP (T2) and 6.25 mg/kg of pituitary carp extract (EPC) (T3), for the latter treatment the injection was divided into 20 and 80%, with an interval of 12 hours between applications. Prior to the removal of gametes, the animals were tranquilized by immersion in a Tricaine Methanesulfonate (90 mg/L) solution. Reproductive performance was evaluated using ovulation rates (females ovulated/treated females), fertility (Fa) (eggs/female), relative fertility (Fr) depending on the number of eggs spawned per gram of weight. The dry method of fertilization was used and the fertility rate was determined six hours post-fertilization (HPF). Results. The Ovulation (ºh) was: for T1 297.1±30.0, T2 294.6±32.9 and T3 247.3±13.1ºh. Ovulated females were obtained in all treatments, where the highest rates of ovulation were obtained with Ovaprim ® (T1 and T2) with 36.4 and 50% respectively. Fertilization rates were higher than 50% for treatments 1 and 2, with values of 74.5 and 32.7% respectively. Conclusions. The use of hormonal inducers may be effective to ensure nicuro induced reproduction with a single dose of 0.25 and 0.5 mL/kg Ovaprim®.
