Abstract

The technologies of controlled reproduction, induction of spawning, sex reversal, artificial fertilisation, sterilisation and preservation of gametes are increasingly applied in aquaculture to obtain quality seed, quality fish stock and better yield. In this context, researches on different aspects of reproduction, developmental biology and physiology have assumed considerable importance besides their values in understanding of the ontogeny of the organisms. Extensive researches carried out in recent years from several laboratories in the world have not only accumulated a body of information, but also broughtforth several new concepts to our understanding of the development and reproductive behaviour of finfishes and shellfishes
