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....
