Popis: | Regulatory effect of surfagon—a synthetic analog of gonadotropin-releasing hormone—on the gonad state of rainbow trout (Kamchatka steelhead Parasalmo mykiss (=Oncorhynchus mykiss)) juveniles is investigated. The juveniles were 2.5 months old and were exposed to brief (4 days) heat stress (19–20°C). The increase of water temperature was followed by anomalies of gonads after 1 month (destruction of sex cells and hypertrophy of connective tissue). In females, the increased water temperature activates sex redetermination: in ovaries, cysts containing destroyed spermatogonia are found. In 1.5 months, the exogenous application of surfagon was followed by acceleration of spermatogenesis in gonads of experimental fish (2.5 months old) and by a slight decrease of fraction of anomalies in structure of their testes compared with the gonads of fish not exposed to surfagon. Exposure of rainbow trout to surfagon prior to sex differentiation is more efficient than after it is completed. |
