Effect of thermal management on vitellogenesis and maturation in indoor-reared pikeperch (Sander lucioperca)

The present study aimed to assess the effects of thermal manipulation on the vitellogenesis and final oocyte maturation (FOM) in pikeperch. Two groups of fish were stocked in two separate tanks of the climate chamber. One group was stocked at 10-month age (THERMAL), while the other was continually k...

description The present study aimed to assess the effects of thermal manipulation on the vitellogenesis and final oocyte maturation (FOM) in pikeperch. Two groups of fish were stocked in two separate tanks of the climate chamber. One group was stocked at 10-month age (THERMAL), while the other was continually kept under stable photothermal conditions until 19-month-age (CONTROL) and then transferred to a climate chamber. The progress of vitellogenesis was assessed via evaluation of the oocyte diameter at the mid- and late-autumn phases, and the gonadosomatic index (GSI) at the late-autumn phase. Finally, females from the CONTROL group were hormonally stimulated before (WARMING) and after (STABLE) increase of the temperature from wintering to spawning, and the FOM progress, ovulation and plasma levels of 17 α, 20β dihydroxy progesterone (DHP) were assessed. Significantly larger oocytes at the mid-autumn phase (878.8 ± 40.1 μm vs 836.5 ± 46.5 μm) as well as the GSI at the end of the autumn phase (10.5 ± 1.7% vs 7.6 ± 1.1%) were noticed in THERMAL fish. Significantly faster FOM was seen in fish under the WARMING post-stimulation regime, and these fish had higher DHP levels at the moment of hormonal stimulation (5.4 ± 1.4 ng/ml vs 3.8 ± 1.2 ng/ml). According to the obtained results, it appears that photothermal induction of fish at a younger stage might have a positive impact on the first spawning, while the WARMING thermal regime seems to be more efficient in stimulating the FOM in fish upon first wintering.
