Induction of ovarian growth in aegla platensis (Crustacea, aeglidae) by means of neuroregulators incorporated to food

The freshwater crab Aegla platensis was used as a model to induce ovarian growth by adding different neuroregulators to a pellet food formulation. Added compounds were the dopaminergic inhibitor spiperone or the enkephalinergic inhibitor naloxone, both of them at a dose of 10-8 mol/animal. Animals w...
