Author(s): Bibha Chetia Borah, Rimzhim Gogoi
Abstract: The recommended technology for the artificial breeding of Magur (Clarias batrachus), requires sacrificing the male for collection of testis, stripping of the female and then dry fertilization with the sperm solution of the male. This process leads to mortality of the male unless special care is taken during dissection. The present communication includes observation on amazing self-healing capacity of dissected male Magur through tissue regeneration and its recovery after removal of testis, upon careful handling and minimum physical injury. This is the first report of its kind for this species.
