Abstract
In juvenile male pink salmon complete maturity was induced by September in the year of hatching by both pellet implantation (once per 3 weeks) and injection (thrice weekly) of 1.0μg of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) gonadotropin per gram body weight. Time of onset of mitotic division of spermatogonia and rate of spermatogenesis were accelerated in the precociously mature testes. Similar doses of salmon gonadotropin injected at longer time intervals (once per week and once per 2 weeks) resulted in slower maturation.
