Testicular tissues of the Siamese fighting fish were incubated with [14C]pregnenolone for 10, 20, 30, 50, 80, and 120 min, and with [14C]progesterone, [14C]11β-hydroxyandrostenedione, [14C]11β-hydroxytestosterone, and [14C]androstenetrione for 120 min. 11-Ketotestosterone was the main metabolite in all 120-min incubations. No 11-oxygenated C21 steroids were found as metabolites of either pregnenolone or progesterone. The biosynthesis of 11-ketotestosterone proceeded through both the Δ5- and the Δ4- pathways ...

We examined the species specificity of the responses to female pheromones by males of Trichogaster trichopterus, the blue gourami, and Trichogaster pectoralis, the snakeskin gourami, sympatric belontiids from Southeast Asia. Using only chemical signals, males of both species discriminated between ripe females and nonripe females, suggesting that the female chemical signal functions in reproduction. Trichogaster trichopterus males also discriminated between and nonripe females and plain water. Two ...

We tested the hypothesis that fish capable of bimodal respiration would respond to the increased travel costs of surfacing by decreasing their frequency of air breathing. Honey gouramis were permitted to move freely in a 220 cm deep aquarium, but their preferred depths were manipulated by changing the location of shelter and feeding sites. With increased depth the interval between air breaths increased. This supports the argument that travel to and from the surface is a significant cost for air- ...

Minced testes of the Siamese fighting fish Betta splendens were incubated with [14C]androstenedione at 27°C for 15, 30, 60, and 120 min. The metabolic products were characterized by paper and thin-layer chromatography, derivative formation, and eventually by crystallization to constant specific activity. After 2 hr of incubation 80.5% of total radioactivity was converted to 11-oxygenated androgens. 11-Ketotestosterone was the main metabolite (56.2%). Our data suggest the existence of two biosynthetic ...

The reproductive behaviour of the blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus, was examined in 15 bisexual pairs and 22 trios maintained in 75-litre aquaria for 23 days. During this time, 74 spawning episodes occurred among 26 different pairs and trios. Sixty-nine of these spawnings were directly observed. Both males and females were capable of mating repeatedly with the same or different partners with as little as 20 to 24 h separating successive spawnings. Females often mated with two males in the ...

Four experiments investigated the effects of anosmia and ventral fin amputation on the mating success of pairs of blue gouramis. Experiment 1 demonstrated that the probability of mating is reduced by cauterizing the nares of both members of bisexual pairs. Combining ventral fin amputation and anosmia completely eliminated mating, although ventral fin amputation alone produced only a minimal and statistically unreliable deficit. In experiment 2, it was shown that males deprived of both the ventral ...

The effects of castration on male spawning behavior, nestbuilding and fertility were measured in a five day spawning trial with an intact female. Spawning and fertility decreased one week following castration while nestbuilding was unaffected. Sham operated males showed normal spawning and fertility. Two weeks postoperatively, fertility and spawning were increased paralleling partial regeneration of the testes. The antigonadotropin methallibure blocked testes regeneration and recovery of spawning ...

Pretrial intramuscular administration of the antigonadotropin, methallibure suppressed operant responding for conspecific visual stimulation. Four administrations of the drug during an 11 day period did not noticeably impair gametogenesis. Oral administration of methallibure for 5 weeks resulted in a decrease in frequency of lateral display, but not frontal display, in a 10 min trial with a live stimulus male, and a decrease in the gonadosomatic index and fertility but not spawning readiness. The ...

In Trichopsis vittatus, two independent bilateral muscles inserting on separate suprabranchial organs displace these organs and set the air-filled suprabranchial cavities surrounding each organ into vibration to produce the characteristic croaking sound. Histological examination shows the fibers of the sonic muscles to be about one-third the diameter of dorsal body wall muscle fibers. Severing one of the bilateral muscles results in the elimination of alternate tone bursts in sounds recorded afterward. ...

The readiness to perform species typical social displays and the readiness to startle in reaction to novel stimuli are increased in socially isolated paradise fish. Males that are kept in large, bisexual populations or have been socially isolated for a few hours show low display and low startle readiness. Reactivity is increased following 1 day of social isolation, and a further increase is obtained by prolonging the isolation up to 4 days. Males that receive continuous visual stimulation from a ...

Abstract 1. The parental behaviour of the male blue gourami, Trichogaster trichopterus, is described. The principal components of parental care are mouthing and retrieving eggs, and egg-eating inhibition. 2. Males spawning for the first time mouthed or retrieved within 5 sec of their first contact with eggs. The frequency of mouthing approached maximal levels after the first or second spawning act which yielded eggs. 3. Parental behaviour was induced in naive males by presentation of conspecific ...
