Photoperiodic light pulse induces ovarian development in the catfish, Mystus cavasius: Possible roles of dopamine and melatonin in the brain
In the freshwater catfish, Mystus cavasius, locally known as gulsha, ovarian maturation is triggered by long-day conditions. Using dopaminergic neuronal activity in the brain, the purpose of this study was to identify the brain’s detection of a nocturnal light pulse that induced ovarian development....

In the freshwater catfish, Mystus cavasius, locally known as gulsha, ovarian maturation is triggered by long-day conditions. Using dopaminergic neuronal activity in the brain, the purpose of this study was to identify the brain’s detection of a nocturnal light pulse that induced ovarian development. Since direct inhibition of pituitary gonadotropin release is exerted by dopamine (DA), it may serve as a neuromodulator of photoperiodic stimulation in teleosts. We studied functional effects of photoperiodicity on dopaminergic rhythmicity in gulsha brain. Nocturnal illumination and Nanda-Hamner photocycles revealed that ovarian development is induced by a 1 h light pulse between zeitgeber time (ZT) 12 and 13. Daily fluctuations in DA, 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and DOPAC/DA were observed under a 12L:12D photoperiod. Fish exhibited increased levels during the daytime and decreased levels at night. Rhythmic patterns of dopaminergic activity also showed clear circadian oscillations under constant light, but not constant dark conditions. After 7 days of exposure to long photoperiod (14L:10D), DA, DOPAC and DOPAC/DA in the brain at ZT12 and ZT16 were significantly higher than during a short photoperiod (10L:14D). Melatonin-containing water inhibited the release of DA and DOPAC 6 h and 24 h after treatment, respectively, and DOPAC/DA 6 h after treatment.
