KANDUNGAN VITAMIN C PADA OVARIUM IKAN LELE (CLARIAS GARIEPINUS) SAAT SIKLUS REPRODUKSI
ABSTRACT: Vitamin C content in
the ovarium of African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus) during reproductive cycle
was investigated. One hundred twenty samples of females covering different
stages of reproductive cycle were collected from fresh water ponds. The fishes
were sacrifized and the ovarium were collected for analysis of gonad maturation
stage (TKG), oocyt structure and vitamin C content in the ovarium. Results indicated that average of vitamin C
content of ovarium at stage I was 74.33mg/g (wet weight). The maximum content
was found in stage III at level of 155.98mg/g (wet weight) and afterwards in
the next stage vitamin C content decreased. The maximum of oocyt stadium 3
(oocyt vitelogenesis) was also found at this stage III. The findings indicate
that vitamin C has a role in the reproductive cycle of catfish and its content
is related to ovarium development and oogenesis.
