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.
