Synopsis (short abstract) This Manual deals with the artificial propagation of warmwater finfishes. Being primarily meant for the extension workers and aquaculture training institutions, it is profusely illustrated. It outlines the basic biological aspects of reproduction in fish and presents the various techniques being used for the collection of fertilized eggs, the artificial fertilization of eggs and the subsequent rearing of larvae and fry. Hatchery and nursery facilities, including equipment and tools, required to set-up a medium-size fish seed production and distribution centre are also included. The various methods of transporting fish eggs, larvae, fry and fingerlings are discussed. The methods of collection and preservation of fish pituitary glands and the dosage of pituitary extracts used for inducing successful spawning in various warmwater fishes are dealt with. Finally, artificial propagation techniques for some commercially important warmwater fishes are presented.
