The study was conducted to determine the effects of different doses of ovulin on the induced breeding performance of Clarias gariepinus. The experiment was set up in a completely randomized design (CRD). 12 broodstocks were used for the experiment (9 females, 3 males) and the broodstock were distributed into three treatments (Treatment A was injected with 0.3ml/kg, Treatment B was injected with 0.5ml/kg and Treatment C was injected with 0.7ml/kg) and each treatment was replicated three times. The result showed that Treatment C had the highest mean values for fertilization rate (88.12%) and was significantly different from the other treatments. It also has higher value for Hatching rate (82.07%) but lower rates for larval survival (83.60%). Treatment B had the highest value for larval survival with 85.20% followed by Treatments A and C with mean values of 84.23% and 83.60% respectively. The present investigation demonstrated that C. gariepinus can successfully be induced to ovulate at 0.3ml Ovulin per kg body weight, lower than the recommended 0.5ml/kg dosage, ensuring high quality eggs and more normal larvae.
