Abstract:
Studies on Gonadosomatic index (GSI), ova diameter and histology of the gonad were performed to understand reproductive biology of Feather back, Chital (Notopterus chitala) for a period of 6 months from January to June 2010. Thirty live chital fish were used in this study. The mean GSI values for female chital were found to range between 0.20±0.013 and 4.63±0.50. The highest GSI value was found in June. The smallest diameter of ovum was recorded 0.04 mm (January) and the largest was 4.00 mm (June). During the experimental period, the fecundity was ranged from 8,238 to 18,569 (mean 13,052±4607) in fish samples with body weight range from 1,296 to 2,360 (mean 1,742.50±474.44 g) while the relative fecundity was 5.65 to 14.33. Histological study revealed that the percentage of late perinucleolus (LPN) stage was highest in April and Cortical alveoli (CA) stage appeared from April and reached to maximum in May. Vitellogenic stage (VG) appeared in the month of May and chronologically increased through June. Vitellogenic stage (VG) of oocyte as well as highest ova diameter reached to the peak in June. The variations in the gonad weight and GSI of the female fish reached to the peak during June indicating maturity of ovary and definite spawning season.

Histological and histochemical examinations of goldfish ovaries indicate that two types of yolk inclusions are formed during vitellogenesis: first, yolk vesicles, comprised of mucopolysaccharides, followed by yolk granules composed of protein, phospholipid, and neutral lipids. Neither type of yolk develops in the absence of the pituitary. Estrogens regulate the formation of yolk vesicles, while pregnenolone was found to control the deposition of yolk granules. The significance of these two kinds of yolk is discussed. This is the first demonstration of a separate endocrine control for the formation of each of the two yolk types in goldfish ovaries.

Yolk globules in developing oocytes of Tilapia mosambique are formed by two processes: 1) biosynthetical activity of oocyte organoides; 2) vitellogenin migration by micropinocytosis and its further transformation. Undoubtedly, yolk globules of endogenic and exogenic origin are fused. The primary yolk globules are spherical, and the secondary ones are lobular. The latter originate by incorporating the former. The fast growth of the late vitellogenic stage oocytes occurs as a result of active migration of primary yolk globules into the central part of the oocyte and as their association with the secondary yolk globules. In vitellogenic oocytes of T. mosambique no yolk vesicles (cortical granules), were found by any existing methods.

Abstract For the study of the reproductive mechanism associated with the process of vitellogenesis, oocyte development and vitellogenesis during oogenesis in female Boleophthalmus pectinirostris were investigated by electron microscopic observations. The ovary consists of a pair of saccular structures with many ovarian lobules. In the early vitellogenic oocyte, the Golgi complex plays an important role leading to the formation of yolk vesicles containing carbohydrate yolks. At this time many pinocytotic vesicles containing yolk precursors are observed in the cytoplasm near the region of initial formation of the zona radiata. In the late vitellogenic oocytes, the multivesicular bodies, which are formed by modified mitochondria, are involved in the formation of the primary yolk granules. Precursors of yolk granules and multivesicular bodies develop to primary yolk globules with participation of pinocytotic vesicles. After primary yolk globules mix with each other, they develop into secondary and tertiary yolk globules. Based on these findings, vitellogenesis of B. pectinirostris occurs by way of the processes of endogenous autosynthesis and exogenous heterosynthesis. The process of autosynthesis involves the combined activity of the Golgi complex, mitochondria, and multivesicular bodies. However, the process of heterosynthesis involves pinocytotic incorporation of extraovarian precursors into the zona radiata of vitellogenic oocytes by way of the thecal cell layers and granulosa cells.
