Stimulation of Ovulation and Spermiation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Controlled Reproduction of Wild Eurasian Perch

Abstract

In this section principles of biological processes standing behind the hormonal stimulation of spermiation and ovulation are presented together with the brief explanation on the possibility of the usage of hormonal agents from the perspective of European regulations. Additionally, practical advice and specific reproductive protocols are given allowing users to perform effective stimulation of ovulation and spermiation.
