    Solution

    LHRH-a, a synthetic analogue of Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone, has been widely used in aquaculture for inducing spawning in various fish species, including sea bass. This hormone works by stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland, which then triggers the final maturation and ovulation of eggs in female fish and the production of sperm in males.
