Abstract:Freshwater African male catfish Clarias gariepinus were maintained under oil rich diets differing in fatty acid contents for six weeks during the pre-spawning phase. The diet was supplemented with linseed oil (rich in C18:3 n-3 linolenic acid) or sunflower oil (rich in C18:2 n-6 linoleic acid) or coconut oil (rich in C12:0 dodecanoic acid) (5% w/w each). Gonadosomatic index (GSI) was recorded and, plasma levels of testosterone (T), tri and tetra-iodothyronin (T3 and T4), total lipids, triglycerides, phospholip… Show more
