Effects of multiple handstrippings of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) females induced to ovulate with carp pituitary extract on production of channel catfish female x blue catfish (I. furcatus) male hybrid fry

Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) females were injected with carp pituitary extract (CPE) and were multiple handstripped three times to harvest eggs. Eggs were fertilized with sperm from blue catfish (I. furcatus) to produce channel-blue hybrid (CB hybrid) embryos and fry. A higher number of females yielded eggs (P
