  Fish seed production of catfish and tilapia has been successfully carried out in Nigeria. Despite the success, there still exist a wide gap between fish seed demand and supply, this therefore necessitate increased research for development. This project is aimed to study the effects of Clarias gariepinus brood-stocks’ egg combination on hatchability and survival of fish larvae. 2 females gravid Clarias gariepinus brood stock size (800-900 g) were injected with pituitary gland hormone at 3 mg kg-1 of body weight. Milt gotten from the selected male was mixed with collected eggs of injected females after the expiration of latency period. 1/3 of the eggs collected from T1 (first female brood stock) and T2 (second female brood stock) were combined and recorded as T3 (mixture of 1/3 of T1 and T2). Each of T1, T2 and T3 were replicated as T11, T12, T13, T21, T22, T23, T31, T32.. View More»
