The text provides detailed, evidence-based protocols for induced breeding techniques, covering the physiological principles, hormonal manipulation methods, and practical applications necessary for successful fish reproduction in controlled hatchery environments. With a focus on bridging scientific knowledge with hands-on implementation, this guide addresses the critical challenges faced in modern aquaculture operations. The book systematically explores the reproductive biology of commercially important fish species, detailing the environmental and physiological factors that influence spawning success. Readers will find extensive coverage of various inducing agents, including synthetic hormones, pituitary extracts, and GnRH analogues, along with precise dosage calculations, administration routes, and timing protocols. The text emphasizes practical troubleshooting strategies, water quality management during breeding operations, and post-spawning care of broodstock to ensure optimal reproductive performance and fish welfare. Designed specifically for hatchery applications, this guide integrates veterinary medicine principles with aquaculture practices, offering step-by-step procedures for breeding program development, broodstock selection and conditioning, spawning facility design, and larval rearing protocols. The content reflects current best practices in fish health management, biosecurity measures, and regulatory compliance, making it an indispensable reference for anyone seeking to establish or improve induced breeding programs in commercial, conservation, or research hatchery settings.
