Abstract:
At present, there is paucity of information regarding the breeding
biology, especially from southeastern region, which differs in its climatic
features from northeastern coastal areas, where some attempts have been
made to study the biology of the fish, though not documented in detail
(Jhingran and Natarajan, I969; Patnaik and Jena, 1976; Kowtal, 1977; Roy
e_t _a_l_., I977). The present work, first to undertake detailed investigation
into reproductive aspects of the fish from India is not only confined to
biology, but extend to the study on histological as well as physiological
changes in the processes associated with natural reproductive cycle. The
main objective of the study is to develop a background for the standardisation
of subsequent artificial propagation techniques for the Sea Dass
The thesis is presented in three chapters. The first chapter; general introduction, surveys the literature pertaining to the status of research on Lates calcarifer with specific reference to reproduction and acquaculture. The second chapter entitled, materials and methods gives description regarding collection of specimens as well as samples in addition to the various analytical methodologies employed during the study.
