摘要：Vitellogenin was protein hormone where controlled gonad
development in fish. Expression of this gene regulated from the external
and internal factor.Photoperiods are the external factor that regulated
endocrine gland activities in gonadal development, gametogenesis and
reproductive cycles. Aim of the research to find out the effect of
photoperiod on gouramy reproductive performance by manipulating
photoperiod. Design experimental with three photoperiod treatments,
namely 14L: 10D (control), 8L: 16D (short photoperiods) and 18L: 6D
(long photoperiods). Four aquaria consisting of nine fishes each were
served as replicates. Fishes were kept under these photoperiods for 8
weeks. The observed variable was the liver activities. Liver activity was
evaluated by measuring gene expression of Vitellogenin. The normalized
data were subjected to ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple-comparison
tests. The length of Vitellogenin cDNA was 1136 bp. The vitellogenin
precursors encoded cDNA consisted of 378 amino acids. The average of
vitellogenin gene in each experimental group significantly increased
according to longer photoperiods (P<0.05). These results indicated that
photoperiods had a stimulatory effect in improving gouramy reproductive
performance.
