Histological Assessment of WOVA-FH Effect on Ovarian and Thoracic Ganglion Tissues in Scylla Serrata

Abstract

Introduction:

The mud crab (Scylla serrata) is a crucial member of the Arthropoda phylum and Crustacea subphylum, classified under the order Decapoda. Crustacean cultivation, including mud crabs, has gained significant attention in developing nations due to its importance for local consumption and global export markets.

Objectives:

This study aims to investigate the stimulation of ovarian maturation in crustacean aquaculture, particularly focusing on the use of hormones. Specifically, it examines the impact of administering 0.2 milliliters of Wova-Fh on female S. serrata.

Methods:

The research methodology involves administering 0.2 milliliters of Wova-Fh to female S. serrata and observing its effects on their reproductive processes. Various parameters such as ovarian maturation and reproductive behavior are monitored and analyzed.

Results:

The study reveals the influence of Wova-Fh on stimulating ovarian maturation in female S. serrata. Significant insights are gained into the potential applications of hormone utilization in enhancing aquaculture practices to meet market demands for live crabs and crab-related products.

Conclusion:

This research contributes to advancing our understanding of crustacean biology and aquaculture management strategies. The findings underscore the potential of hormone utilization, particularly Wova-Fh, in promoting reproductive processes in mud crabs, thereby aiding in the sustainable cultivation of this valuable species.
