Specific Nutrients for Improving Gonadal Development and Reproductive Performance of Fishes
Thangaraju Thiruvasagam* and Mir Ishfaq Nazir
Abstract
In the country, aquaculture development relies heavily on the crucial and primary aspect of fish seed availability. In fish, embryonic development relies entirely on the stored energy of the eggs post-fertilization. The transfer of essential nutrients from the female brood during egg formation is vital for successful development. Hence, good nutrition for broodstock is important because farm-level cultured fish rely almost entirely on given feed for their maturation and seed production. Essential dietary nutrients in the broodstock feed affect fish gonadal development and reproductive performance. Protein, lipids, carbohydrate and vitamins are essential nutrients when formulating broodstock diets, and their quality in broodstock nutrition affects the survival of offspring. Adequate nutrients in the diet could improve fish growth and allow broodstock to attain larger size faster and produce more offspring with better survival.
