Study on induced breeding in ornamental fish,poecilia sphenops

C. Sudha

An attempt has been made to determine the effect of Natrum muriaticum, a homeopathic medicine on the weight gain, fecundity, excretion and tissue protein level in Poecilia sphenops (white molly), an ornamental viviparous fish. Natrum muriaticum of 30 centesimal potency of dilution of 0.025% medium was used. The amount of protein was determined in the ovary, liver and muscle of the control and the treated fishes. The amount of protein in the ovary after the treatment of the drug leads to precocious maturation of ovary and release of young ones.
