Study Notes
Siganids Treatment and Spawning
- Female broodstock with oocyte size ≤ 0.42 mm are ineffective for hormonal manipulation in induced spawning attempts.
- Final maturation of young egg cells and ovulation is triggered by an LH surge.
- Administration of hCG stimulates the hypothalamus to release LH Releasing Hormone (LHRH).
- LHRH causes the anterior pituitary to release LH, activating the fish hormone feedback mechanism.
- Hormonal treatments such as hCG, LHRH, and LH are employed to promote oocyte maturation and spawning in fish.

Description
This quiz explores the hormonal treatments utilized for the spawning and maturation of Siganids. Understand the roles of specific hormones like hCG and LHRH in facilitating the ovulation process in fish. Test your knowledge on the effectiveness of broodstock based on oocyte size and the mechanisms involved in induced spawning.
