Breeding of Magur Fish (Clarias batrachus): A Comprehensive Research Study

Author(s) Dr. Ankit Kumar
Country India
Abstract The magur fish (Clarias batrachus) is an economically valuable species in aquaculture, renowned for its adaptability and high nutritional content. This research paper presents a thorough investigation into the breeding aspects of Clarias batrachus, focusing on hormonal induced breeding techniques, water quality parameters, larval rearing, and breeding performance. The study evaluates the efficiency of various hormones including Ovaprim, Ovatide, and pituitary gland extracts in inducing spawning, fertilization, and hatching success. Environmental factors critical for optimal breeding such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, and water chemistry are examined. Larval development stages and survival rates under controlled hatchery conditions are analysed, and common problems such as larval deformities and mortality are identified with their corresponding preventive measures. Nutritional composition of magur is discussed highlighting its high protein and beneficial lipid content, which reinforce its value in human consumption. Data tables and figures illustrate comparative breeding hormone performance, water quality ranges, larval survival trends, and nutritional profiles. This paper aims to provide a scientific foundation to improve magur seed production and sustainability in aquaculture, supporting rural livelihoods and food security.
