Q

Explain Prophase 1

A
  • initiation of GONADAL MATURATION
  • beginning of RECRUDESCENCE
  • meiosis stops and vitellogenesis starts
  • vitellogenin deposited and present in blood
  • longest stop in meiosis. longer in big eggs
  • meiosis may become permanently arrested at the end of vitellogenesis

Q

Explain Prophase 2

A
  • should start after telophase 1, may not
  • GV usually migrates to side of egg
  • GV disappears (GVBD germinal vesicle break down)

ii) hormonal
- hypothalamus>pituitary>ovarian axis

41
Q

why are environmental cues important?

A
  • feeding: affects circadian. rhythm of GTH circulation.

Q

how is temperature important in relation to spawning?

A
  • tropical species, important cue
  • N and S edge of range temperature can control spawning
  • tilapia breed constantly if above 28*C
  • tilapia dont breed under 22*C
  • sudden temperature change can stimulate spawning
44
Q

Pheramones

A

metabolic byproducts of sex steroids

45
Q

Pineal Gland

A

- melatonin acts as a transducer of photoperiod

46
Q

Hypothalmic Releasing Hormone

A
  • GTHRH
  • GnRH (gonadotropin)
  • GnRF (gonadotropin releasing factor)
  • LHRH (human lutenizing hormone releasing hormone

47
Q

GTHRH - what does it stand for, where is it concentrated?

A

Gonatropic hormone releasing hormone

-hypothalamus, olfactory and optic centre of brain

48
Q

LHRHa- what does it do?

A
  • most likely hormone to induce fish to spawn
  • cause fish to secrete own GTH, which tend to be spp. specific
  • simple 10 amino acid molecules - cheap
  • low species specificity
  • small molecules = no immune response
  • use ug amounts vs mg for induction. cheap
49
Q

how much stronger is analogue than natural GTHRH?

A

3x

50
Q

how many injections should be done when using GTHRH?

A

<2 , 1/4 dose for 1st (priming),

3/4 dose for 2nd (resolving)

Q

GTHRHIF

A

GTHRH inhibitory factor

  • dopamine
  • dopamine effect inhibited by Pimozide, Domperidone
52
Q

Best way to inject GTHRH?

A
  • best intraperitoneal

- 2nd best intramuscular or dorsal sinus

53
Q

how would you release GTHRH slowly?

A
  • mix LHRHa w cellulose or cholesterol
  • coconut oil

A

O. niloticus female with O. aureus male

O. niloticus female with O. hornorus male

71
Q

Steroid treatment: two basic, general rules

A
  • use testosterone to get males and estrogen to get females

- must apply before sex differentiation

72
Q

2 most common treatments for steroids?

A
  • bath @ 50% hatch and 50% swim-up
  • feed testosterone - 10-21 day
