This research aims to compare the effects of ovaprim and coconut water on the hatchability and fecundity of catfish species Clarias gariepinus.
Utilized eight broodstocks comprising four males (550-900g) and four females (500-517g) for artificial spawning.
Applied different treatments: ovaprim, coconut water, a mixture of both, and a control group.
Monitored hatchability and fecundity after 25 hours of incubation at temperatures of 23-27°C.
The mixture of coconut water and ovaprim achieved a fertilization rate of 50.66±10.00.
Ovaprim alone resulted in a fertilization rate of 38.66±7.63 and a hatchability of 38.66±18.92.
No significant differences were observed in mortality rates among all treatments (P < 0.05).
