Abstract
ROLE OF ACID PHOSPHATASE IN THE REPRODUCTIVE CYCLE OF FEMALE LABEO ROHITA (HAM)
Gunwant P. Gadekar*
ABSTRACT
Acid phosphatase, lysosomal enzyme play an important role in the reproduction of fish and shows seasonal variation in its expression in reproductive cycle of Labeo rohita. Lowry method was used to study the enzyme activity. Acid phosphatase activity was observed to increase in post-spawning phase. In the resting and preparatory phase, significant decreased in the activity was noticed. Enzyme activity was continuously increased from preparatory to post-spawning phase. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) was highest in spawning phase due to increase in the size of ovary that was not corresponding with enzyme activity. Significantly highest enzyme activity was recorded during the post-spawning phase and might be due to their lytic activities which lead to degeneration of ovary during this phase.
