Abstract
Ovaprim and pituitary gland from Clarias was used to ascertain the reproductive indices and early growth of the hatchlings (First Filial) of Heterobranchus bidorsalis at the Fisheries and Research Institute Maidugri. Broodstocks mean body weight males (1200 g) and females (900 g) was collected from fish Dam Baga, a portion of Lake Chad and transported to the national institute for freshwater fisheries research Maiduguri to hatchery complex. The fishes were injected with ovaprim (0.25ml/kg of fish) and pituitary gland (2ml/kg of fish). The fecundity, fertilization, hatchability, survival rates, sperm volume and weight of the testes were estimated after the latency period. While the fry were reared for eight weeks in a complete randomized design setup in an indoor facility to investigate the weight the early growth performance of the fry. The result revealed significant difference (P>0.05) between the fecundity of the females, the fish induces with ovaprim had 11,700 while pituitary gland had 8,000. There was significant difference (P>0.05) between % fertility and hatchability of the eggs. However, the male induced with ovaprim had higher milt volume (3.6 mL). Meanwhile, the fingerlings reared four weeks in an outdoor pond had a significant growth, the fingerlings induced with ovaprim had 15.38 g in weight gain while pituitary gland was 15.62 g. There was no significant (P>0.05) difference between the two hormones on fingerling production. There was no significant difference (P>0.05) between increase in length of fry reared for four weeks.
