Astyanax bimaculatus, oviparous fish, presents reproductive activity the year round and multiple spawning. It is important to know the reproductive biology to facilitate the reproductive management, minimize the expenses with the reproduction and develop new techniques that can to improve the reproduction with commercial and preservation interests. Studies demonstrate the importance of the growth hormone in the gametogenesis and gonadal ripening, as being an important factor of female reproduction. In this way, the present study histologically evaluates the Astyanax bimaculatus ovaries submitted to the induced spawning technique with a crude carp pituitary extract and the effect of the growth hormone in the ovarian recrudescence process after spawning. Respecting the different periods after induced spawning, the ovaries of fishes of the control group and the growth hormone treated group were analyzed using a light microscope, aiming to characterize the post-spawning ovarian morphology. From the biometric data obtained, the gonadossomatic index (GSI) and hepatossomatic index (HSI) values were calculated, and also the condition factor (K2), in the different collection schedules for the two groups under study. Around 60% of the females reacted satisfactorily to the crude carp pituitary extract injection. The extrusion of the oocytes occurred between 225 and 234 h-degrees after hypophysation. The oogenesis of A. bimaculatus seems to be similar to the majority of the fresh water teleosts. The analysis of the fragments of ovaries showed the constant presence of oocytes in the gonads during all pphases of development, post-ovulatory follicles, besides follicular atresia. Oocyte in primary growth were present in great number in the group-control, while oocytes in secondary growth were more numerous in the treated group. Post- ovulatory follicles were more numerous in the control group than in the treated group, and between 96th and 120th hours after spawning in both control group and treated group its detection became more difficult. The follicular atresia was observed in greater intensity in the treated group than in the control group. Significant differences (P<0.05) between the experimental were recorded at six and at 48th hours after spawning. Significant differences were not observed (P>0.05) for the eosinophyle counting inside the experimental groups. A greater quantity of eosinophyles was observed in the treated group, coinciding with the largest quantities of atretic follicles in this group. A significant difference (P<0.05) was noticed when the follicular atresia and eosinophyle values were associated and compared between the experimental groups. Due to a multiple spawning and not presenting abrupt variations in the size of the gonads, significant differences were not found (P>0.05) for the GSI in the different collecting periods and not even between the experimental groups. Statistical differences (P<0.05) for the HSI values were found between the experimental groups at the nine and 96 th hours postspawning. Higher values of HSI were registered in the group that received the hormone growth coinciding with the largest quantity of vitelogenesis oocyte observed in this group. Statistical differences were not found (P>0.05) for the condition factor (K2).
