Length-weight relationship (LWR), sex ratio and maturity of Fenneropenaeus indicus (H. Milne Edwards, 1837), was analysed based on samplings from coastal trawl fishing grounds in the Arabian Sea off Kerala coast, India. The male tofemale ratio (1:1.27) did not vary significantly from the hypothetical 1:1 ratio. Length at maturity (Lm50) was estimated at 122 mm total length for females. The LWR did not differ significantly between male and female shrimps. The information generated from this study will enhance knowledge on the biology of the species and assist in assessment and management of its stock.

Oreochromis leucostictus is one of the commercially important tilapiine in Lake Naivasha. Its stock in the lake has declined due to the effect of fishing and pollution. This study investigated on its length-weight relationship, condition factor, sex ratio and maturity. Fish samples (233) were caught using gillnets of mesh-sizes 2-5 inches. Each individual fish was measured (cm) and weighed (g) in the field. The specimens were preserved in ice and transported to the laboratory for analysis of maturity. The mean (±SE) total length and weight for all fish was 21.3±0.3 cm TL and 187.4±8.3 g, respectively. Males 22.3±0.4 cm were significantly larger than females 19.2±0.5 cm. The mean condition factor was 1.06, 0.99 and 1.04 for male, female and combined sexes, respectively. The overall population sex ratio was 2.19:1.0 (male: female) that deviated significantly from 1:1. The slope b of the length-weight relationship was 1.92, 3.07, 2.33 for males, females, and combined sexes, respectively. Length at 50% maturity was estimated at 21.0 cm for females and 26.0 cm for males. Ripe oocytes and testis were found in all fish sizes. Comparisons with earlier studies suggest that the parameters of its growth, condition and maturity vary greatly from the different habitats.

The study was carried out to determine length-weight relationship and sex ratio of a freshwater fish Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton 1822) collected from Dekar haor of Sunamganj district during the period of January to August 2017. A total of 2000 fishes were collected for the study and categorized these fishes into three groups namely males, females and combined sexes. Among 2000 mola 777 were male and 1223 were female. Length-weight equations and the correlation coefficients obtained for males, females and combined ones were: males Y = –1.97 + 3.00X, r = 0.883; females Y = –2.30 + 3.41X, r = 0.914 and combined Y = –2.11 + 3.16X, r = 0.904. Female’s A. mola attained more weight with the increases in length. Value of correlation coefficient ‘r’ was 0.883 for male and exhibited highly positive correlation between length and weight. On the contrary, ‘r’ value for female was 0.914 and it had also strongly positive correlation between length and weight relationships. Length-weight relationship of A. mola for male, female and combined sexes showed allometric pattern of growth. Condition factor ‘K’ for male, female and combined sexes was 1.09, 1.05 and 1.06, respectively and indicated better condition of fishes. The highest sex ratio (1 : 2.05) was found in May and the lowest (1 : 1.33) was in February. Dominance of females over males throughout the year was observed with an average ratio of male and female 1 : 1.57. Therefore, results of the study indicate that the existing hydrobiological conditions of the haor are conducive for food availability, free movement, feeding and better growth of the fish. Asiat.

Oktaviani D, Faizah R, Nugroho D. 2018. Biological aspects of Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus, Cantor 1849) in north coast of Central Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 19: 683-689. Longfin Mojarra (Pentaprion longimanus) locally named as rengganis, is a demersal fish species that is commonly caught in Scottish seine fisheries off the north coast of Java. The fisheries are in heavily harvest level since decades. The aim of this study was to observe the biological aspects of this species. Observations were made between August 2014-July 2015 from Tegal fishing port, western part of north coast central Java. General life-history parameters were measured, i.e., monthly length frequency for 1876 fishes, among them 573 specimens were observed for length-weight relationship, including 541 specimens for sex ratio and maturity stages. Fulton index, Gonadosomatic index, sex ratio and estimated length at first mature were analyzed. The result showed fish size ranged between 7.4 to 15.3 cmFL with the average length of 11.2+1.75 cmFL. We found that length-weight relationship tends to be isometric which statistically the body growth coefficient (b) is equal to 3 (tc = 0.53 < tab; p<0.05) . Monthly Fulton indexes ranged between 1.05-2.87 with an average of 1.90 + 0.17. Sex ratio during observation was not significantly different (p<0.05) from the expected ratio of 1: 1. Mature females occurred year-round with the highest percentage observed from January to April 2015. The estimated length at first maturity was 13.04 cm FL. These biological parameters will be used to support the population study of the future demersal fish species to improve conservation and management measures.

The slipper lobster, Scyllarides latus (Latreille, 1803), is the only representative species of the genusScyllarides in the Mediterranean Sea. In this study, we examined some biological aspects of this species sampled in the Straits of Messina. The specimens were sexed, measured and weighed. The relationships between body measurements (length and width of the carapace, antennal length) and length-weight relationship were calculated. Furthermore, the correlation matrix (Pearson’s coefficient) was calculated. Two hundred specimens were collected, ranging in size from 81 to 305 mm in total length, and between 21 and 1490 g in weight. A rare juvenile of 39 mm CL was recorded. A sex ratio of 1:1 was found. The carapace length – weight relationship was almost isometric. The wide size range sampled and the presence of a juvenile, indicate an interesting habitat for studying the presence and growth of Scyllarides latus in the Straits of Messina.
