The Naleh fish, Barbonymus sp., is a native freshwater fish in Aceh province, Indonesia, and is considered one of the most popular fish species for food and ornamental purposes. Induced breeding technology is crucial for the success of any fish farming practice, but currently, the effective hormone treatments and induced breeding and seed production methods for Naleh fish are unknown. Therefore, the present study aims to determine the suitable hormone for effective induced breeding of Naleh fish. The study was conducted in January 2025 at the Community Fish Breeding Center of Meunasah Krueng Village, Nagan Raya District, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The Completely Randomized Design method with 3 treatments and 5 replications for each hormone was tested. Three types of commercial available hormones, namely Ovaprim, Ovaspec, and HCG, were evaluated. The results show that the types of hormones tested significantly affected latency time, fertilization rate, and survival rate (p<0.05) but did not significantly affect hatching rate and larval malformation rate (p>0.05). The highest reproductive performance parameters were found in the Ovaprim induced fish groups. Therefore, it was concluded that Ovaprim hormone is the suitable hormone for the effective induction of spawning and seed production of Naleh fish. © 2026, University of Mosul College of Agriculture and Forestry.
