AbstractTo identify a simple indicator for detection of follicular vitellogenesis stage of cultured Caspian brown trout, the changes of plasma calcium and estradiol-17β along with ovarian histology were investigated over a reproductive cycle. For this purpose, the blood and gonad samples were taken monthly over a six months period. According to results, the concentrations of plasma calcium increased significantly during October and November but then declined steadily until the end of experiment. Estradiol-17β concentrations were low throughout the experiment, a clear peak was observed in October. Histological observations showed that all examined females were in vitellogenesis when the peak of plasma calcium and estradiol-17β were observed. Also, significant positive relationship was found between plasma calcium and estradiol. The good fitness of plasma calcium and estradiol-17β peak with histological observations suggests that plasma calcium could be a good and simple indicator for detection of follicular vitellogenesis stage in the cultured Caspian brown trout.
