  abstract = {{O}bservations on growth rate and occurrence of first sexual maturity were done on a population of 75 #{P}angasius djambal$ originally caught in the wild, individually tagged, and reared in 200 m2 ponds at a stocking density of 0.4-0.5 fish/m2 at the {S}ukamandi research centre ({J}ava). {T}hese fish, weighing initially between 190 and 1100 g were fed with a 35-40% crude protein pelleted feed and followed up during a period of 16 months. {T}wo trials of induced ovulation were also carried out on females from a small stock of a dozen adult fish reared in floating cages at the {D}anau {T}eluk fish culture station ({S}umatra). {B}etween {J}une 1997 and {O}ctober 1998, the mean body weight of fish increased from 555 g to 4162 g, which corresponded to a daily weight gain of 7.4/d. {T}he highest individual growth rate observed between two successive sampling dates was of 16.5 g/d. {T}he mean growth rate of #{P}. djambal$ females (8.9 plus or minus 2.2 g/d) was significantly higher than that of males (6.3 plus or minus 1.9 g/d) and first sexual maturity occurred several months earlier in males than in females. {O}ocyte maturation and ovulation were induced with two successive injections of {O}vaprim at 8 h interval, corresponding to a total dose of 0.9 m{L}/kg. {A}mong four females treated, three ovulated and could be stripped. {M}ean hatching rates obtained after artificial fertilisation of eggs varied between 8 and 31%. {A}fter 27 days of age, the survival rate of larvae fed live #{A}rtemia$ nauplii then dried feed was 61%. {N}o cannibalism was observed during the larval rearing which did not appear as a critical phase of the breeding cycle. {A}lthough preliminary, these results confirm the great potential interest of using #{P}. djambal$ for aquaculture. {T}he induced breeding and larval rearing carried out for the first time in this species represent a breakthrough in the control of its biological cycle in captivity.
