Paul O. Ajah*, Ifunaya Vivian Anene & Love N. Allison
The hatchability of Clarias gariepinus using pituitary extract and Ovaprim hormones was carried out at the Hatchery unit of the Fisheries Department, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria. One male to two females were used across all batch treatments (T1-T3). Batch T1 was administered 100% Ovaprim, T2 received 100% Carp Pituitary Extract-CPE, T3 a combination 50% o
