By understanding the hormonal action behind the induction of spermiation in Leptodactylus ocellatus can help in the collection of semen for artificial insemination and cryopreservation. The experiments were conducted at the Experimental Frog Farm of the Federal University of Viçosa. Seven L. ocellatus males with the following secondary sexual characteristics were selected: black thorns, developed forelimbs, and amplexus reflex. Spermiation was induced in these animals by applying daily 0.4 μg buserelin acetate hormone (GnRHa) for 7 days, being the semen collected 90 min after the application. The volume, color, vigor, motility, sperm concentration, and spermatozoa morphology were subsequently evaluated. Three animals responded to GnRHa induction, enabling... |

The potential of wreckfish (Polyprion americanus) to breed in captivity was examined. Ovarian activity varied seasonally, with vitellogenesis beginning in November and ending in May. Slow-release implant with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) prevented atresia, and both GnRHa injections or implants at the end of vitellogenesis triggered ovulation after 7 days. Spontaneous spawning was obtained only in one female, and the few eggs produced were of poor viability. Manual stripping and artificial fertilization produced viable gametes and embryos. Therefore, present captivity conditions inhibited final oocyte maturation (FOM) and spawning, but not vitellogenesis and spermatogenesis. GnRHa treatments stimulate FOM and ovulation of viable eggs. |
