During the fertile period, females receiving two primings were induced to spawn earlier (11.5 hrs post-induction)
when compared to females receiving one priming (12.5 hrs PA) (Table 2). Moreover, the total number of oocytes spawned from 11.5 to 17.5 hrs PA was greater (P < 0.001) in females receiving two primings (22,961) compared to one priming (9,883), and the mean number of oocytes spawned for two primings (3280 ± 159) compared with one priming (1,647 ± 167) was significantly (P > 0.01) different (Table 2).
