Reproductive System In Fishes

Description

Fish reproductive organs include testes and ovaries. In most species, gonads are paired organs of similar size, which can be partially or totally fused. There may also be a range of secondary organs that increase reproductive fitness. Some fish are hermaphrodites, having both testes and ovaries either at different phases in their life cycle or, as in hamlets, have them simultaneously. The fertilisation of eggs can be either external or internal. In many species, fins have been modified to allow Internal fertilisation. This book dwells into this in great detail while discussing topics such as Fatty Acid content in fish, digestion, proteins and Amino Acids, Endocrine and Reproductive Systems, developmental plasticity in the Circulatory System, etc. The author also shares insights about the risks and controls in managing Fishery products, the factors involved in maintaining Fisheries farming systems, etc.
