Q

List 2 reasons why LHRHa is the most likely reproductive hormone to succeed in inducing ovulation in difficult to spawn fish?

A
  1. It is not species specific

2. It stimulates the fishes own GTH to increase

17
Q

Doperidone blocks the action of what hormone in fish reproduction, aiding ovulation?

A

Blocks dopamine

18
Q

Name 2 substrates that can be used to make pellets for the long term administration of spawning induction hormones in fish?

A
  1. Coconut oil

2. Cellulose

19
Q

What human hormone can be used to stimulate or mimic the gonadotropins of fish when inducing fish to spawn?

A

HCG

20
Q

List 3 disadvantages of the use of sex steroids in producing MONOSEX stocks of fish?

A
  1. Low market appeal
  2. Must treat all production fry
  3. fry must be obtained less than days from hatch
21
Q

What advantage does gynogenesis offer in developing lines of monosex female fish for masculinization with testosterone?

A

You will know all fry are female

22
Q

Balon’s reproductive fish guilds are based on what 3 characteristics of fish reproduction?

A
  1. early development form and function
  2. preferred spawning ground and substrate
  3. adult reproductive behavior(spawning and incubation)
23
Q

IN pelagic marine fish, which scatter eggs, what component of the egg determines the depth at which it incubates?

A

Lipid content

24
Q

What purpose might a downwardly curved tail, in a fish larvae, serve?

A

forces the larvae to swim down to hide

25
Q

Larval fish use highly vascularized fin folds and yolk sacs to serve what function in their physiology?

A

auxiliary respiratory feature

26
Q

What differentiates an ovi-ovoviviparous fish from a vivipariorous fish?

A

ovi-ovo- eggs deposited, nutrition from yolk

vivp- fry released, nutrition from mothers blood

27
Q

Which two genera of the tribe Tipapini feed largely on phytoplankton?

A

Oreochromis and Sartherodon

28
Q

Describe the arena spawning in the subfamily Tilapini?

A
  1. Male builds nest, attracts female, female puts in mouth and female leaves
29
Q

what 2 morphological features of the digestive system would identify a fish as carnivorous and adapted to eat large meals of easily digested protein infrequently\?

A
  1. large stomach

2. small intestine

30
Q

Give the common name of 3 of the most important members of the subfamily Tilapiini in commercial aquaculture?

A
  1. Nile Tilapia
  2. Egyptian
  3. Hornorum
  4. Blue
31
Q

List 4 means of achieving monosex male stocks when commercially rearing tilapia?

A
  1. hormonal sex reversal
  2. high temperature incubation
  3. hybrids
  4. manual sexing
32
Q

How do the urogenital papillae of male and female Oreochromis differ?

A

female- 2 openings

male- 1 opening

33
Q

What does the term HAPA refer to in fish culture?

A

Asia cages for Tilapia reproduction control

34
Q

What chemical, used to masculinize tilapia has been banned for this purpose in Canada and the United states?

A

Methyl testosterone

35
Q

Shock is used to produce mitotic and meiotic gynogens. What cellular process is stopped in each case?

A

Mitotic- 1st cleavage

Meiotic- loss of 2nd polar body

36
Q

when a hormonally induced heterozygous (XY) female is spawned with a regular heterozygous male fish, the fry contain both the XY male and YY super male fish. How can the YY males be identified?

A

progeny testing

37
Q

If homozygous female tetraploid fish (XXXX) are bred with hormonally masculinized homozygous male fish (XX) what is the sex and the sec chromosome compliment of the fry?

A

FEMALE

XXX- triploid
