Effects of melatonin (MEL), 5 methoxytryptamine (5-MT), 5-methoxytryptophan (5-MTP) and 5-methoxytrptophol (5-MTL) were studied on the circulating levels of testosterone (T), estradiol 17β (E2) and Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) during the early-preparatory and early prespawning phases of the annual reproductive cycle of the freshwater catfish, Clarias batrachus.
