Induction to spawning in the bay snook (Petenia splendida Günther, 1862)
Keywords:
Gonadotropin, Bay Snook, Spawning, Native species, Embryo survival at hatchingAbstract
In recent years, the culture of the bay snook (Petenia splendida) has begun to take on importance in the southern region of Mexico, and is now the subject of studies at research institutions where aspects of its biology, cultivation and nutrition have been addressed. However, the information related to the management and reproduction of this fish is still scarce, which limits its production, despite having suitable characteristics for its cultivation and a high demand. To counteract this, studies related to the control of its reproduction are necessary. In this sense, one of the most efficient methods to achieve reproductive control is the spawning induction by exogenous hormones, to obtain larvae throughout the year, regardless of the breeding season of the species. In the present study, the effect of different concentrations of chorionic gonadotropin were evaluated on spawning number (NDE, efficiency EF%) total number of counted embryos (NTE), embryo survival at hatching (%SE) and total number of larvae obtained (NTL). Gonadotropin was injected into the base of the pectoral fin at concentrations ranging from 250 to 1500 IU kg-1. In total, three experiments were conducted, reducing the number of concentrations and the interval between them as each experiment progressed. The data obtained were subjected to a chi-square analysis. No significant differences were observed among the NDE, however, the concentration of 350 IU kg-1 presented an EF% of 75% to induce spawning. The NTE showed a significantly higher value (P < 0.05) in the concentration of 350 IU kg-1, with a %SE of 90%, an optimal value from the aquaculture point of view that makes the bay snook culture possible in the medium term.
