To test the efficacy of the technique of using dopamine antagonists with pituitary extracts, experiments were conducted in July, 2022, at Masab Al Sen (Al Sen estuary) Fish Farm and Hatchery, General Commission for Fisheries Resources, Syria. In all, 18 sets (2 female x 4 male in each set) were tried individually. 9 sets were treated with domperidone (DOM) and carp pituitary extract (CPE) and they constituted the experimental sets, while the rest 9 were treated with CPE and formed the control sets. The ovulation ratio, absolute fecundity, relative fecundity (number of eggs/kg), fertilization rate and hatching rate was 92.85%, 384645 ± 70990 eggs, 56853.22 ± 5385.68 eggs/kg, 80.02% and 61.54%, respectively in the experimental sets whereas it was 92.85%, 355172 ± 53008 eggs, 52059.73 ± 3853.71 eggs/kg, 72.50% and 54.46% respectively in case of control sets. Hatching occurred within 20 h and 45 min to 21 h after fertilization in the experimental sets whereas it was 20 h and 45min to 21 h and 20 min in case of control sets at 26-26.5°C. It was observed that body weight has positive influence on absolute fecundity (r = 0.98, 0.99) and relative fecundity (0.97,0.97) in case of experimental sets and control sets respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
