Highlight ResearchThe reproductive characteristics of L. hoevenii were examinedThe potentially smallest maturity sizes of female and male L. hoevenii were 350 g and 180 g, respectivelyThe fecundity of a 1,000 g L. hoevenii can be more than 100,000 eggsL. hoevenii was determined as a multiple spawnerAbstractSultan fish (Leptobarbus hoevenii) is a high value freshwater fish, cultured in some Southeast Asian countries, including Malaysia and Thailand. However, information on its reproductive characteristics is very scarce. This study examined the gonadosomatic index (GSI), fecundity, egg diameter, and determined whether L. hoevenii is a single- or multiple-spawner. Twenty male and female pond-farmed L. hoevenii broodstock were obtained to measure their total length (TL), body weight (BW) and gonad weight to calculate the GSI. Ten females were randomly sampled from the 20 to determine their fecundity. A total of 1,500 eggs were sampled from each female. The egg diameter was measured then its frequency distribution was analyzed to detect the number of egg class group, and to determine whether L. hoevenii is a single- or multiple spawner. The female L. hoevenii examined were 32.2-47.1 cm and 350-1,200 g, while the males were 30.7-45.8 cm and 180-970 g in TL and BW, respectively. All female specimens contained gonads. The potentially smallest mature samples were recorded at 350 g (female) and 180 g (male). GSI for the female and male L. hoevenii were 1.81-12.28 % and 1.03-5.09 %, respectively. The fecundity was 35,467 -128,067 eggs, while the highest fecundity was observed in a 1,000 g fish. The observed egg diameter ranged from 500 to 1,855 μm. Two to five groups of egg class were detected, indicating that L. hoevenii is a multiple spawner.

Eksploitasi ikan lalawak (Barbonymus balleroides) yang berlebihan dari alam mengakibatkan langkanya jenis ikan ini di beberapa perairan aslinya. Sebelum ikan ini diperkenalkan sebagai komoditas budidaya, masih diperlukan lebih banyak lagi informasi mengenai aspek bioreproduksi ikan lalawak yang telah dipelihara pada lingkungan budidaya. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi produktivitas ikan lalawak yang dipelihara pada lingkungan budidaya melalui pengamatan bioreproduksi dan hubungan panjang-bobot terhadap fekunditas. Sampel induk ikan lalawak betina yang diambil sebanyak 15 ekor, kemudian dipilih lima ekor induk betina yang telah matang gonad dengan ciri-ciri seluruh badannya terasa kasar apabila diraba, perut membesar ke arah posterior dan terasa lunak, genital mengembang, serta berwarna kemerahan. Data yang dikoleksi berupa panjang total, bobot badan, bobot gonad, fekunditas, diameter telur, dan indeks kematangan gonadnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kisaran fekunditas ikan lalawak adalah 1.920-2.236 butir/g bobot gonad, dan 83-352 butir/g bobot badan induk dengan rata-rata diameter telur 0,87-1,10 mm. IKG berkisar 3,73%-18,36% dari kisaran bobot induk 85,32-264,8 g. Hubungan antara bobot badan dengan bobot gonad ikan lalawak digambarkan dengan persamaan linear y= 5,829ln (x) + 0,691 (r= 0,874); sedangkan hubungan panjang badan terhadap bobot gonad digambarkan dengan persamaan y= 28,52ln (x) - 38,10 (r= 0,7487). Pada ikan lalawak, hubungan bobot badan dengan fekunditas lebih erat dibandingkan dengan hubungan panjang badan terhadap fekunditas. Hasil pengamatan juga menyimpulkan bahwa ikan lalawak tergolong ikan yang memijah secara parsial.Over-exploitation of lalawak (Barbonymus balleroides) from its natural habitat had significant negative impacts on its availability. Before it is introduced as aquaculture commodity, more information about its reproductive biology in aquaculture environment needs to be well observed. The aim of this study was to determine the productivity of lalawak reared in aquaculture environment through observation of bioreproductionand relationship between fecundity and body length-weight of lalawak. Samplewas randomly taken from fifteen individuals female. From those samples, gonads were taken from five mature females for reproduction observation, by which the mature females were selected following specific criteria such as : their body feels rough if touched;enlarged abdomen posteriorly and felt soft; fluffy and reddish genital. Data collection consisted of measurement of the total length, body weight, gonad weight, fecundity, egg diameter and gonadosomatic index (GSI). The results revealed that the fecundity of lalawak ranged from 1,920 to 2,236 eggs/gof gonad weight and 83 to 352 eggs/g of body weight with average diameters of eggs ranged from 0.869 to 1.10 mm. GSI values ranged from 3.73 to 18.36% of 85.32 to 264.8g of body weight. The relationship between body weight and gonad weight of lalawak was described by the linear equation of y= 5,829ln (x) + 0.691 (r= 0.874), while the body length relationship to the gonad weight was described by the equation of y= 28,52ln (x) - 38.10 (r= 0.7487). Fecundity relationship with body weight of lalawak was closer than the length. The observations also concluded that lalawak is classified as partial spawning.

In order to determine the reproductive characteristics of Liza parsia, a fish of commercial importance, the GSI, egg diameter, sex ratio and fecundity were examined in 331 specimens caught monthly for a period of ten months from September 2006 to June 2007. According to the GSI and egg diameter, the reproduction period of Liza parsia was determined to be in November to March with two peaks in the months of December and February. The maximum GSI values obtained for male and female were 1.49 and 14.71 respectively in the month of February. In December, the gonadosomatic index decreased in female (13.5) and in male (1.4). The average egg diameter of Liza parsia ranged from 0.35 to 0.50 mm. The sex ratio (Male:Female) of the investigated fish was1:1.21. Fecundity of the fish ranged from 18,950 to 1,71,210 during the period of study. Linear relationships between fecundity and total-length, bodyweight, gonad-length and gonad-weight were found and fecundity was more related to the ovary length (r=0.8172) and ovary weight (r=0.8552) than the fish length (r=0.7538) and fish weight (r=0.7592).

Glossogobius giuris were collected during March to September 2013 from the Payra river to estimate the length-weight relationship with relative condition factor (Kn), fecundity, gonadosomatic index (GSI) and relation between fecundity and other parameters. The length-weight relationship was found to be Log W= 2.667 Log TL – 1.805 in male and Log W = 2.931 Log TL – 2.040 in female. The mean Kn were found to be 1.02±0.155 for male and 0.97±0.276 for female which indicates satisfactory condition of the fish population. The mean relative fecundity was ranged from 88495 to 264104 with a mean value of 171581±17855, having a average total length of 21.21±0.44 cm, body weight 70.22±4.62 g and gonad weight 2.74±0.31 g. The relationships among the fecundity, the total length, body weight, gonad weight were found to be linear and positively correlated. The mean GSI value was 3.42±0.33 and the highest GSI value was recorded 9.34±0.71 in the month of September. This study will help to introduce this species in sustainable aquaculture through proper management and for the development of induced breeding technique.

Background of the Study: The morphology of any reptile may be affected by different environmental factors such as climate change and habitat related features such as availability of food and other resources. Objective: This study aimed at determining the morphology and sexual variation of Rainbow male and female lizards (Agama.agama) in Obafemi Awolowo University.  Study Design: Three locations in the University were selected (Student Hostels, Academic Area and Staff Quarters) and rainbow lizards were sampled from June to December 2019.  Results: A total of 93 lizards were sampled, body parameters were measured, and the gonads were weighed after dissection. There was a positive correlation (0.98 & 0.78) between the body weight and gonad weight of the male and female lizards in all the three locations. Also, the specimen from the academic area of the University had the least body and gonad weight, while the samples caught in the staff quarters had the highest body and gonad weight. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) showed a relationship in the body and gonad weight with few differences from samples captured in the academic area.  Conclusion: In summary, external morphology of the rainbow lizards from all the three locations were similar with little difference in body weight. There was a positive relationship between external morphology and gonads of rainbow lizards.

This study was conducted to evaluate some aspects of the reproductive biology of the African Bonytongue Heterotis niloticus from the Great Kwa River, Cross River State Nigeria with the view to encourage conservation and rational measures for sustainable management of the species. A total of 62 matured H. niloticus were sampled and their gonadosomatic index (GSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), condition factor, fecundity and egg diameter (mm) were studied in other to determine the spawning season of the fish. Gonadosomatic index and hepatosomatic index showed an inverse relationship during spawning seasons. Total length (TL-cm) ranged between 47.1 cm – 76.2 cm and total weight (TW – g) ranged between 4300g - 1169g with sex ratio of 1:1.2 (male: female) revealing a dominant female population. Fecundity ranged from 511 oocytes (48.4cm TL; 1.69 kg wt, 5.9g gonad weight) to 7822 oocytes (69.3cm TL, 3.11kg wt. 14.9g gonad weight). The regression equation derived from the scattered diagram in the relationship between fecundity and total weight, total length gonadosomatic index and length-weight is; F= 6.6231TW0.837, R2= 0.2456; F= 5.1112TL1.6367,  R2= 0.1606; F= 10680GSI0.9276, R2= 0.6567; TW= 0.4072TL2.0987, R2= 0.7533, the relationship were significant (p < 0.05). Fecundity and ovary weight relationship showed a positive correlation coefficient of 1. The highest egg diameter (0.92±0.01) was recorded in May and other months with corresponding high gonadosomatic index performance to confirm spawning period. In view to encourage conservation by investigating measures for sustainable management of the species, this study observed that H. niloticus spawns throughout the year. Ikot, N.

Investigation on the Reproductive Biology of Bagrus bayad in Jibiya Dam from Katsina State, Nigeria was carried out from July – December 2019 using standard procedures. One hundred and sixteen (116) samples of B. bayad were harvested and collected during the study period in order to determine sex ratio, fecundity and Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) of the fish species. Results indicated that the male:female sex ratio was 1.3:1 which was not significantly different from the hypothetical 1:1 (p>0.05). It was also found that the GSI of B. bayad was highest in July (0.23) and lowest in October (0.12). The relationship between fecundity and ovary weight was positively significant (p<0.05). Similarly, there was a significant positive relationship between fecundity and body weight as well as between ovary weight and age (p<0.05). However, no significant relationship was found between ovary weight and body weight, body weight and age and between fecundity and age (p>0.05). It is recommended that comparative study on the stages of maturity of male and female B. bayad in Jibiya Dam be investigated.
