Abstract
Male gonadal development of the yellow catfish, Pseudobagrus fulvidraco, one of the most popular fish species in Korean aquaculture performance, was investigated by histological observation of monthly collected specimens to make comparisons between wild and cultured individuals. Their reproductive cycle was classified into the successive developmental stages as follows: a growing stage (April), a spawning stage (May), a degeneration stage (June to July), and a resting stage (August to October) in the wild and outdoor-cage individuals; a growing stage (April to June), a spawning stage (July to August), a degeneration stage (September), and a resting stage (October) in the indoor-cage ones. Values of gonadosomatic index (GSI) of wild and outdoor cages peaked in May, followed by a sudden decline in August~September and June~August, respectively. In contrast, GSI values of the indoor-cage individuals peaked in September and were followed by a sudden drop. Remarkable seasonal variation in condition factor (CF) was undetectable, peaking in June in the wild-cage individuals and November in the wild ones. Overall, our results suggest that it is suitable to use the male of the outdoor-cage individuals for artificial fertilization and that it is efficient to perform artificial fertilization in May, such as reproductive cycle of wild.
