Abstract

Further, investigations were initiated on induced spawning of Indian major
carps {Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala) enclosed in a battery
of earthen pools consisting of two longitudinally built compartments. A single
source of continuous water flow was maintained in the earthen pools till the
starting of spawning. The experimental system was designed and operated in
a fish farm at Komakantia village, Puri District, Orissa. An attempt was made
to induce spawning of the major carps (Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus
mrigala). The experiment was conducted twice during July in 1989 and 1990
with a continuous inflow of water to the pools till the starting of spawning.
The spawning was totally successful in the injected and non-injected females
of C. mrigala while it was partial in the case of C. catla and L. rohita
