Synopsis (short abstract) The experiments were carried out by the biologists in the Aquaculture Research Group, of the National Inland Fisheries Institute. Urine was collected from pregnant women during 2–3 months of gestation at Rajavidhi Hospital. The crude hormone was extracted by acetone precipitation method. Hormone powder was obtained by using freeze drier technique. The amount of HCG was measured by Double Antibody Quantitative HCG Radioimmunoassay. Hormone was kept in the vials with 5,000 IU per vial. Total amoun t of 156 vials or 780,000 IU were produced during December 1986 – July 1987. The cost of hormone production per vial was 7.12 baht. Produced hormone can be used effectively for induced spawning of all types of catfish such as Clarias macrocephalus, Clarias batrachus and Pangasius sutchi.

    Broodfish of grouper (Epinephelus salmoides) were induced to spawn by hormonal induction. The hormones used for this experiment were HCG + pituitary gland (PG) and LRH-a. The results showed that at the dosages of 500 IU HCG + 3 mg of PG per kg of fish for first injection and 1,000 IU HCG + 3 mg of PG per kg of fish at the final injection at an interval of 24 hours, the treated fish spawned naturally in a spawning tank 12 hours after the final injection. At lower dosages of 500 IU HCG + 3 mg PG a t 12-hour intervals or 500 IU HCG + 3 mg PG at 24-hour intervals or using 10 mg LRH-a at 12-hour intervals, the eggs can be artificially fertilized only by stripping. * This paper was presented at the First Asian Fisheries Forum 24–30 May, 1986 Manila, Philippines. ** Present Address : FAO/UNDP Seafarming Development Project (INS/81/008), FAO, Jakarta, Indonesia. The larval rearing experiment ws conducted in a 250-liter fiberglass tank at the stocking density of 2,500 larvae per tank. Feed s used in this experiment were : (a) Isochrysis + sea urchin eggs; (b) Isochrysis + Brachionus; and (c) Tetraselmis + Brachionus. The experiment results showed that newly hatched larvae fed with Isochrysis mixed with sea urchin eggs and then switched to Brachionus on day 10 gave the best survival rate (9% at day 30).
