Thank you Chinaza Godswill Awuchi,

However, I already read this journal but the Aouthors did not spleled out details on how to isolate mesonephric gonadal complex.

Ahmad Al Khraisat

Here is a step-by-step description of how to isolate the mesonephric gonad complex of catfish larvae using a dissection microscope:

Begin by preparing your materials and setting up your work area. You will need a dissection microscope, a sharp pair of dissecting scissors, fine forceps, a petri dish, and a supply of catfish larvae.

Place the catfish larva in the petri dish and carefully examine it under the dissection microscope. Identify the mesonephric gonad complex, which is located in the abdominal cavity of the larva and is responsible for producing gametes (eggs or sperm).

Using the dissecting scissors, carefully cut through the abdominal wall of the larva to expose the mesonephric gonad complex. Use the fine forceps to gently lift the complex out of the abdominal cavity.

Place the mesonephric gonad complex in a clean petri dish and examine it under the dissection microscope. The complex should consist of a pair of gonads and associated blood vessels and connective tissue.

Use the fine forceps to carefully dissect the complex into its individual components, if desired. You can also use the dissecting scissors to cut the complex into smaller pieces for further analysis or preservation.

Once you have finished dissecting the mesonephric gonad complex, carefully discard any tissue or debris that you have generated, and clean and sterilize your tools and work area as needed.

It's worth noting that dissection techniques can vary depending on the species and age of the animal, as well as the specific research goals of the study. It may be helpful to consult a dissection guide or seek guidance from a more experienced researcher if you are unfamiliar with the dissection techniques specific to catfish larvae.

Dear Ahmad Al Khraisat,

Thank you very much for the step-by-step description of how to isolate the mesonephric gonad complex of catfish larvae. I will try this procedure and get back to you. Best regards.
