Abstract
The insufficient supply of milkfis fry severely limits the expanion of milkfish aquaculture. While natural spamning and hatchery production of milkfish fry have been attained recently, there is sitll a need to incease egg production from available broodstock. A number of studies geared towards this concern are currently conducted at SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department with moderate success. Chronic administration of estradiol-17B and 17A-hydroxy-progesterone to femaleand male milkfish broodstock increased maturation and rematuration rates. Milkfish kept under constant long phtoperiod (16L:8D) appeared to have prolonged gonadal development than thoes of milkfish reared under long to normal to short photoperiod. Ffrmulated diet containing 6% liquid that is feed to milkfish broodstock at a daily ration 4% of total body weight appeared sufficient for maintaning sexual maturation andspawning. Refinements in these areas canensure a better management technique that can provide maximum number of good quality eggs required by hatcheries.
