Abstract
Melatonin (aMT) implantation during testicular inactive phase (January-March) brought an early initiation of testicular development in Perdicula asiatica. However, during the recrudescence (March-May), active (April-June), and regressive (May-July-September) phases both aMT and 5-methoxytryptamine (MT) implantation had inhibited testicular weight and activity significantly. Subcutaneous injections of aMT, MT and 5-methoxytryptophol (ML) during morning (7.30 a.m.-8.00 a.m. and evening (4.30 p.m.-5.00 p.m.) could not bring about any significant effect on the weight or activity of the testes during the inactive (January-February) phase, while inhibited testicular weight and activity during the active (May-June) phase when administered in the morning as well as in the evening hours.
