Oogenesis and in vitro reproduction of the twospot astyanax Astyanax bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1758) exposed to conspecific alarm substance.

Stress situations can be essential to trigger reproduction in fish; however, it may also inhibit it. One of those situations involves the release of the conspecific alarm substance (CAS), a natural stressor, into the water by specific fish epidermal cells after a predator attack. Little is known about the effects of that substance on fish reproduction.
