      abstract = {Artificial propagation of Mastacembelus pancalus was  conducted in order to determine the optimum dose of  pituitary
gland (PG) hormone at the hatchery of the Field  Laboratory Complex, Faculty of Fisheries, Bangladesh  Agricultural
University, Mymensingh. The present study  consisted of two trials and each trial had four treatments  (T1, T2, T3 and
T4, respectively) with three replications  of each. In the experiment single dose and double dose had  been used for T1,
T2, T3 and T4, respectively to evaluate  the efficiency on ovulation rate, fertilization rate, and  hatching rate of M.
pancalus eggs. The hatchlings were  reared in aquarium up to 30 days and survival rate was  determined. Treatment-3
(T3) of double dose (170mg PG kg-1  and 60mg PG kg-1 body weight of fish for female and male  respectively) showed
better results in terms of ovulation  rate (90.03±2.56%), fertilization rate (90±0.81%), hatching  rate (80±1.84%), and
survival rate (40.00±3.19%) was  recorded than other treatments of single and double dose.  The water temperature
was recorded 27 to 31°C. In the  present study, treatment-3 (T3 in double dose) was the best  findings in terms of
ovulation rate, fertilization rate,  and hatching rate which can be used in artificial  propagation of M. pancalus for the
development of hatchery  production. May and June are the suitable months for  artificial propagation of the said
species.},
