Abstract
Two attempts to spawn mature orange-mouth corvina (Cynoscion xanthulus) with hormone injections resulted in successful spawns. Spawns with high fertilization rates (86.9 ± 11.8% and 84.4 ± 5.9%) followed injections of des-Gly10,[D-Ala6]-luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (1-9) ethylamide (0.10-0.20 mg/kg fish body weight) and pimozide (5.0-10.0 mg/kg fish body weight). This treatment may be useful for inducing ovulation in other species which have been difficult to breed by traditional methods in captivity.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
