Abstract

In this study, the effects of hormonal treatments on egg mortality after fertilization in Chilean flounder were evaluated. In the control group, plasmatic estradiol-17β showed very low levels before spawning induction. However E2, GnRHa and GnRHa/bGH treatments caused high plasma E2 levels resulted in poor egg survival. Probably, the persistent high E2 levels affected the timing of oocyte maturation.
