Answer:

1. The pituitary gland is collected from a recently-killed fish - donor through the removal of the dorsal side of the skull.

2. The pituitary glands are preserved in alcohol or nitrogen (freezing method).

3. The pituitary gland is prepared by locating it in distilled water or a saline solution

4. Intramuscular administration via injection.

5. Fish are released inside a breeding tank.

Explanation:

Hyphosysation is a technique that is used to induce reproduction in fish when they are unable to spawn because conditions are not optimal. During this process, fish are injected with substances that are released from the pituitary gland, leading to the acceleration of spawning. These secretions are: Somatotropic hormone, Adrenocarticotropic hormone, Prolactin, amongst others.

This process uses two inducing agents: natural (pituitary substances) and synthetic (e.g. steroids).

The process consists of the next steps (summarized):

1. The pituitary gland is collected from a recently-killed fish - donor through the removal of the dorsal side of the skull.

2. The pituitary glands are preserved in alcohol or nitrogen (freezing method).

3. The pituitary gland is prepared by locating it in distilled water or a saline solution

4. Intramuscular administration via injection.

5. Fish are released inside a breeding tank.

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of nerves that transmit impulses back and forth between the central nervous system, the skeletal muscles, and the skin.
The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia that are located outside the brain and spinal cord (CNS). The main function of the PNS is the connection between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body.

Answer:

According to the characteristics given and what the image shows, the species to which the frog corresponds is Bufo boreas.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

Bufo marinus .
Litoria caerulea .
Bufo boreas. 
Acris crepitans.

Bufo boreas is a species belonging to the family Bufonidae, very common in North America, constituting an anuro amphibian.

The appearance of B. boreas is that of a thickened and irregular skin, due to multiple warts found on its surface. Additionally it has a stripe or line in its dorsal region, which extends from the head to the tail.

These characteristics, together with the description given, make it possible to establish that B. boreas is the species that can be observed in the picture (see image).
