The objectives of this experiment were to test the efficiency of several
combinations of LH-RH analogue (LH-RH-a) and 170-Methyitestosterone (17a-MT)
on the rate of egg maturity, and the type and doses of cryoprotectants on the quality of
frozen semen of Jambal Siam fish.
In the first experiment LH-RH-a and 17a-MT were used separately with a total
dose of 800 j1g/fish and 1000 jig/fish respectively. These hormones were administered
with different frequencies of four times, twice and once within four months. The
second experiment was based on the result of the first experiment, in which a
combination of LH-RH-a (200 ig, 400 pg, 600 yg) and 17a-MT (250 ng, 500 yg, 750
4g) were administered twice within four months. The third experiment was the
eryopreservation of semen using two kinds of eryoprotectants (DMSO and glycerol) in
a Ringer solution.
The result of the first experiment revealed that the administration of LH-RH-a
(800 1g) four times, 200 j1g each, within four months gave a positive response towards
the development of the gonad (one month), egg maturity (98.02 %), egg diameter (1.12
mm), fertility rate (92.93 %) and hatching rate (68.75%). On the other hand, the
administration of a single dose of 1000 j1g of 17a-MT resulted in the development of
the gonad within two months, 98.03 % egg maturity, egg diameter 1.18 mm, 95.62 %
fertility rate and 60.84 % hatching rate. The best result in the second experiment was
the combination of LH-RH-a 200 jig plus 17a-MT 250 jig, LH-RH-a 400 yg plus 170
MT 500 pg and LH-RH-a 600 jig plus 17a-MT 750 ig, in which the condition of egg
cells reached stadium TV within five months. The largest egg diameter (0.95 mm) was
achieved by the treatment of LH-RH-a 600 ug plus 170-MT 250 ug. Satisfactory
results of the fertility rate and hatching rate were achieved under the treatment with
LH-RH-a 400 hig plus 170-MT 250 pg, 93.50 % and 91 % respectively. In the third
experiment DMSO (5 %) and egg yolk (5 %) in a Ringer solution of 90 % gave the
best result, ie. 50% after thawing motility, with a fertility rate ranging between 82 and
92 percent, and hatching rate ranging between 77 and 88 percent.
