Abstract :

The administration of the breeding hormones especially Pituitary Gland (PG) and Ovaprim induce breeding is reproductive phenomena in aquatic species within Pakistan. Such endocrinological agents have taken central stage as a tool applied in aquaculture practices for enhancing the success rates of reproduction. It provides an in-depth examination of the hormonal mechanisms, species-specific responses and the interplay between dosage and administration timing. The brood fish had an average weight ranging from 2-4 kg. The response of the fish towards the two solutions, PGE and Ovaprim was compared. Their implications for aquaculture sustainability, offering nuanced perspectives on enhancing breeding protocols and addressing the inherent challenges of hormonal induction methodologies.
