Dear Mr.Mukherjee,
Please mention what type of inducing agent has been tried. Whether it is pituitary extract or synthetic hormone? Further in which position the same was injected. I believe this is equally important.

Yes, of course. Most of the hatchery owners of Naihati and Burdwan are to be educated in in Pacu breeding. It is true that only three hatchery owners could successfully produce pacu seeds. Biplab Kr.Banerjee
