Abstract: The present study was aimed to perform induced breeding of gold fish (Carassius auratus) in controlled environmental condition and its breeding success rate along with fecundity and hatching rate was compared with natural breeding method. The study was conducted during the period from June at Comprehensive Area Development Corporation (WBCADC), Debra Project, Dalapatipur, Debra Bazar, Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. Gold fish brooders were exposed to single dose of ovatide @ 0.5ml/kg body weight for female and 0.2ml/kg body weight for male for induced breeding while the control females were exposed to natural breeding. Fecundity and hatching rate of eggs in induced bred fish was found to be significantly higher than the fish exposed to natural breeding methods. Also the survival rate was found to be higher in induced bred fish. The hatching rate and survival success of eggs may be affected by various factors, such as temperature, rate of water flow, water quality etc. Therefore, the optimum physico-chemical parameters of water was maintained and monitored during the entire experimental duration. The positive response of gold fish to synthetic hormone (Ovatide) with significantly increased fecundity, fertilization and hatching rate makes it possible to conduct the breeding of this species commercially and the method can be utilised to help the farmers to increase their economy.
