Induced Fish Breeding: A Practical Guide for Hatcheries takes a successive approach to explaining the use of breeding technology with proven scientific methods. It provides real-life examples for the purpose of maximizing fish and seed production to support overall sustainability in aquaculture. It is a concise reference to understanding the latest developments in the field, useful for anyone who is involved in fisheries or hatchery management as well as researchers and students who need to understand the technology. A practice originally developed to produce quality seed in captivity, induced breeding has made great strides in fish populations for India. The book offers a practical and succinct overview—from existing methods and operations to recent trends and their impacts on aquaculture for the future. Provides detailed information about empirical breeding practices like mixed spawning and indiscriminate hybridization Presents the environmental and hormonal influence on maturation and spawning of fish with real-life fish breeding examples from around the world Includes step-by-step scientific measures to help solve problems arising from common fish-farming mistakes Provides real-life examples for the purpose of maximizing fish and seed production to support overall sustainability in aquaculture

Seventy-two pairs of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus were induced to spawn in glass aquaria by injecting fish pituitary into the females. Control of peritoneal lesions, infections, and adhesions, was anticipated by including 10,000 unites of crystalline penicillin-G with each injection. Spawning was induced by injecting acetone-dried pituitaries from carp, buffalofish, flathead and channel catfish, and gar. Pituitaries from these various species differed little, regardless of time of collection. The amount of pituitary material required to induce spawning varied from 3 to 32 milligrams per pound of fish weight, given in from 1 to 28 injections, with an average of 3. Most females required 3 injections at 2 milligrams per pound of body weight every 24 hours. The period of time from the last injection to spawning varied from 2 1/2 hours to 72 hours, but averaged 16 to 24 hours.

Awarded Bookauthority's "Best Aquaculture Books of all Time" A comprehensive resource that covers all the aspects of sex control in aquaculture written by internationally-acclaimed scientists Comprehensive in scope, Sex Control in Aquaculture first explains the concepts and rationale for sex control in aquaculture, which serves different purposes. The most important are: to produce monosex stocks to rear only the fastest-growing sex in some species, to prevent precocious or uncontrolled reproduction in other species and to aid in broodstock management. The application of sex ratio manipulation for population control and invasive species management is also included. Next, this book provides detailed and updated information on the underlying genetic, epigenetic, endocrine and environmental mechanisms responsible for the establishment of the sexes, and explains chromosome set manipulation techniques, hybridization and the latest gene knockout approaches. Furthermore, the book offers detailed protocols and key summarizing information on how sex control is practiced worldwide in 35 major aquaculture species or groups, including fish and crustaceans, and puts the focus on its application in the aquaculture industry. With contributions from an international panel of leading scientists, Sex Control in Aquaculture will appeal to a large audience: aquaculture/fisheries professionals and students, scientists or biologists working with basic aspects of fish/shrimp biology, growth and reproductive endocrinology, genetics, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and R&D managers and administrators. This text explores sex control technologies and monosex production of commercially-farmed fish and crustacean species that are highly in demand for aquaculture, to improve feed utilization efficiency, reduce energy consumption for reproduction and eliminate a series of problems caused by mixed sex rearing. Thus, this book: Contains contributions from an international panel of leading scientists and professionals in the field Provides comprehensive coverage of both established and new technologies to control sex ratios that are becoming more necessary to increase productivity in aquaculture Includes detailed coverage of the most effective sex control techniques used in the world's most important commercially-farmed species Sex Control in Aquaculture is the comprehensive resource for understanding the biological rationale, scientific principles and real-world practices in this exciting and expanding field.
