The working of Vardhman Electronics Fish Grower has been also observed in Induced Breeding Experiment, The Cy. Mrigala breeder got breaded by Hypophysation on with Hormonal Injection at 10% less to normal dosage; by inserting the Vardhman Electronics Fish Grower in Breeding Pool progressive percentage of Fertilisation on has been also observed during this experiment. The result of induced breeding experiment conducted on 8-10-2006 by using Fish Grower as shown below.
| Date | Name of the Species | Female Brooders Utilised | Male Brooders Utilised | Dosage per kg (in ml) | No. of eggs released (in lakhs) | % of Fertilisation | No. of Spawn produced | Remarks | |||
| No. | Weight (kg) | No. | Weight (kg) | Female | Male | ||||||
| 21.07.2006 | Mrigala | 16 | 18.100 | 17.00 | 14.850 | 0.5 | 0.25 | 20 | 75% | 15.00 | Experiment without inserting Fish Grower |
