EFFECT OF SYNTHETIC KISSPEPTIN-10 ALONE AND IN COMBINATION WITH DOMPERIDONE ON INDUCED BREEDING OF CIRRHINUS MRIGALA

Abstract

In the present study the Indian major carp, Cirrhinus mrigala was induced using synthetic Kissppetin-10 hormone alone and in combination with domperidone. Spawning took place between 8-9 hours of injection. Highest fertilization rate of 91.075% and hatching rate of 86.29% was observed from fishes induced with synthetic kisspeptin alone. In case of fishes induced with a combination of kisspeptin and domperidone maximum fertilization rate of 94.49% and hatching rate of 92.015% was obtained. The effect of synthetic kisspeptin alone on breeding performance was almost similar to the combination of kisspeptin and domperidone
