Abstract

The in vitro effects of various gonadotropin and pituitary preparations on germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) were investigated in yellow perch (Perca flavescens) and walleye (Stizostedion vitreum). All preparations tested were effective in walleye; however, none of the preparations induced significant GVBD in yellow perch.
