    Fish Breeding

    This document discusses fish breeding. It begins by defining fish breeding as the production of young fish from parent fish to ensure the continuity of fish species. Fish breeding is important for aquaculture to meet the growing demand for protein. There are three main methods of fish breeding: natural breeding, semi-natural breeding using hormones, and artificial breeding which is the most technical method using hormones and artificial fertilization. The history and examples of commonly bred fish are also provided. Recent developments in fish breeding include hybridization and cryopreservation to improve fish stocks.

    Fish

    Breeding

    By Durai Murugan
    What is Fish Breeding?

    • production of young fish from the parent fish

    • To ensure continuity of their species

    • Important role in aquaculture


    Why we need fish breeding?
    • need for higher fish livestock
    • demand for more protein rich food
    • Led to the development of technologies for
    productive fish and seed culture
    Example of fish

    Clarias
    tilapia
    salmon
    tarpon
    History
    • Begin from China – 2000 BCE
    • Fan Lai’s book, “The Classic of Fish Culture” – 500BCE
    • Travelled to French Indochina, Indonesia, Europe,
    North America, New Zealand, Australia and many
    more regions
    Methods
    • Natural breeding
     Needs natural environment

    Disadvantages:
    • Seed not available when needed for many
    species which leads to shortage of fingerling
    for stocking followed by low fish production.
    • Fish eggs and seeds are susceptible to attack by
    insect larvae, water bugs and fish parasites.
    • Difficulty in identifying the growth stages of
    different fish species which causes desired fish
    stocked with other species.
    • Not an economical method as cost of
    maintaining natural environment of fish and
    worker cost is high.
    Advantages: - no skills needed to perform
    methods
    • Semi natural breeding  Hormone injection
     Left in pond or tank for
    spawning
     Cons: results in low quality and
    distinguishing the age of fish
    from parent fish would be
    difficult over time.
     Pros: inexpensive and simple to
    achieve good survival rate,
    growth and health of fish.
    methods
    • Artificial breeding
     Hormone induced
     Cutting fish belly for to obtain milt from testis
     Artificial Fertilization + incubation
     Advantages: fish availability all year round, the seed can
    be obtained out of natural environment, high rate of fry
    survival & fish quality can be improved by hybridization.
     Disadvantages: causes loss of the donor fish, highly
    technical process which require labor & a very costly
    method as proper housing, tanks, and other facilities.
    Current developments and
    biotechnological approach

    • Hatchery fish can be spawned to wild fish – no


    decrease in productivity
    • Hybridization
    • Cryopreservation
    • Gynogenesis
    • transgenic fish production.
    conclusion
    • Fish breeding plays an important role to increase fish
    production to meet the requirement for protein rich food.
    • There are three methods in breeding fish (natural
    breeding, semi natural breeding, artificial breeding)
    • Approaches of biotechnology on fish breeding to enhance
    stock and quality of fish like hybridization,
    cryopreservation, gynogenesis and transgenic fish
    production.
