Detailed explanation-1: -The technique of breeding the fish by administering pituitary gland extract injection is known as induced breeding or ‘hypophysation’. The gland secretes several hormones, of which ‘Gonadotropin’ is most important for breeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solution. Induced breeding technique is used in Capture fishery.

Detailed explanation-3: -The breeding technique in which the breeders use hormones to ripe the fish artificially is known as induced breeding. This leads to the release of eggs and sperms from the fish at a specific time interval. As induced breeding is an artificial technique it is also known as artificial breeding.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the induced breeding is quite effective in pisciculture as it is an artificial process in which the pituitary gland is collected from the mature fish or donor fish and introduced into the body of the male and female fishes, as a result, fishes lay eggs in the pond water and fertilization takes place.

Detailed explanation-5: -a technique whereby ripe fish breeders are stimulated by pituitary hormone or any other synthetic hormone introduction to breed in captive condition. Then the carps being excited lay eggs in the pond water and the process is called induced breeding. This process of breeding is also known as hypophysation.
