RAT UTERINE BIOASSAY FOR THE RESIDUAL EFFECT OF THE ADMINISTERED TESTOSTERONE ACETATE IN THE CARP, CYPRINUS CARPIO (L.)

To achieve higher growth rate and to induce sex reversal/sterility in fish, gonadal hormones are employed in aquaculture experiments. One of the impediments for the use of steroids in aquaculture is the lack of information on residual concentrations of the used exogenous hormone in fish destined for...

Summary:To achieve higher growth rate and to induce sex reversal/sterility in fish, gonadal hormones are employed in aquaculture experiments. One of the impediments for the use of steroids in aquaculture is the lack of information on residual concentrations of the used exogenous hormone in fish destined for human consumption. In the present investigation, bioassay studies were conducted to detect the effect of residual hormonal concentration in the muscle of the sex steroid treated fish.
