Solution
The correct option is A Pisciculture Induced breeding (hypophysation) is carried out in case of pisciculture. The hypophysation technique uses the pituitary gland extract to induce spawning in fish. This allows spawning and availability of the fish seed at any time in the year. On the whole, more fish can be obtained from an individual fish through artificial propagation involving stripping after hypophysation, when compared to what is obtained through other propagation techniques.
