Popis: Maturation and ovulation were induced in female Prochilodus platensis with multiple homologous pituitary extract injections (total dose 0.9 to 1.4 hypophysis/kg) or single injections of pituitary extract combined with human chorionic gonadotrophin ((1 hypophysis + 500 I.U.)/kg). One of the females given the latter treatment produced viable eggs. Latency time from injection to ovulation was 9 h (at 28°C). Hatching occurred 12 h after fertilization. Survival after 30 days of rearing was 96%.
