Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the beginning of the last century, induced reproduction has allowed several species of fish to be produced via global aquaculture. During this period, new drugs and improvements to existing protocols were responsible for rearing young forms to fatten different species. Thus, this Special Issue will enable the dissemination of advances in existing protocols, results in species that have never been commercially produced, protocols that improve spawning rates and embryonic survival, and the use of new methods, drugs, and technologies. Authors who wish to study the effects of dose responses of different drugs on the release of other substances and reproductive performance are also encouraged to submit articles for publication. Studies that focus on the effects of hormonal treatments on ovulation and egg induction substances and their receptors are also encouraged.
