Description Reproductive processes are by no means fully impaired in captivity.
The gradual and progressive development of the gonads remains, in general,
uninhibited upto the final stage of gamete maturation, and it is only at the
point of gamete release that the sequence is arrested. Both gonadal
maturation and breeding behaviour have long been known in responses to
environmental stimuli viz., temperature, light, rainfall etc. Our fishery
scientists have made a timely breakthrough by inventing the technique of
induced breeding through hormonal manipulation. Though the induced
breeding technique has now been successfully used for carps many
brackishwater and marine fishes have either responded to this technique
with partial success or no response. This is because of the lack of
understanding the mechanisms involved in the environmental complexities
and their impact on neuroendocrine mechanisms in control of reproduction.
