Pama croaker, Otolithoides pama (Hamilton, 1822) is one of the commercially important demersal fish of Hooghly-Matlah estuarine system, West Bengal, India. Reproductive biology of 618 samples of O. pama (Hamilton, 1822) collected from the Hooghly-Matlah estuarine system of West Bengal, India for a period of 18 months (November 2016 to April 2018) was investigated. The total length (TL), body weight (BW) and ovary weight (OW) of the samples varied from 100-384 mm, 7.29-470.71 g and 1.5-29.49 g, respectively. The sex distribution was 1 male for 1.07 female and the ratio did not differ statistically. The length at first maturity (Lm) was recorded as 183 mm for males and 196 mm for females. The reproductive activity was found throughout the year with three peak spawning season with high gonadosomatic index (GSI) values, i. e., during February-March, June and September-November. The absolute fecundity ranged from 4652 to 170688 eggs (24950±32441.2) and relative fecundity ranged from 96 to 808 eggs per g body weight (382±176.83). Fecundity exhibited a relatively higher significant correlation with ovary weight (r = 0.973, p<0.01), compared to total length, total weight and ovary length. Egg diameter frequency showed polymodal distribution, indicating that the species is a batch or asynchronous spawner.

Abstract The gonadosomatic index (GSI) and fecundity of the threatened Cirrhinus reba (Hamilton) was studied over a period of one year from January to December 2015 in the Ganges River (northwest Bangladesh). The GSI index indicated that the C. reba breeding season in the Ganges was from June to September with the peak in August. Fish fecundity increased with increasing fish length and weight, and the highest fecundity (265,042.23) was recorded in a fish with a total length, a body weight, and an ovary weight of 23.80 cm, 136.00 g and 45.00 g, respectively. There was a linear relationship between fecundity and total length (r = 0.871), body weight (r = 0.872), and ovary weight (r = 0.879), with that between ovary weight and fecundity being the strongest.

Fecundity, gonadosomatic index (GSI) and ova diameter of the cyprinid fish Kalibaush (Labeo calbasu,Ham.) were studied from a closed water hatchery pond, Faridpur district during April 2007 to March 2008. Fecundity of the fish ranged from 37454 to 427030 with an average 230242. The maximum fecundity was from a fish with total length of 51.3 cm and 1785 g in weight and minimum from a fish with a total length of 32.5 cm and 720 g in weight. The number of ova present per gram of body weight was 213.13 and the number of ova present per gram of ovary weight was 1359.17. It was observed that the fish spawned once in a year with one spawning peak in the month of July as indicated by the values of both ova diameter (1.3± 0.04) and gonadosomatic index (1.68± 0.11 and 18.58 ± 0.06) respectively. The relationship between fecundity and other variables (Total length, body weight and gonad weight) was linear and significant (P<0.01).Bangladesh J. Zool. 41(1): 43-48, 2013

In comparison to other nations, the Nepalese information on the reproductive biology of hill-stream fish is limited. So, the purpose of the present study was to provide information related to reproductive biology of a hill-stream sucker throat catfish Pseudecheneis sulcata from the snow-fed Tamor River, Nepal. The study was carried out from June 2018 to May 2019.  A total of 57 female fish was collected. The fecundity of 22 females was assessed, while the gonadosomatic index was determined using all the collected samples. The absolute fecundity ranged from 2,316 to 7,597 eggs, with an average of 3,660 ± 210. This range of absolute fecundity indicates that Pseudecheneis sulcata is a moderately fecund fish when compared to certain low fecund species and some exceptionally fecund fish with tens of thousands of eggs. Relative fecundity ranged from 65.47 to 129.11 with a mean of 88.98 ± 4.35. The present study demonstrated that absolute fecundity was moderately correlated with total length (r = 0.45) and strongly linked with body weight (r = 0.78), and ovary weight (r = 0.80). Mean gonadosomatic index (GSI) was recorded the highest in January (15.7 ± 1.22%), and showed a decrease in the subsequent month of February (10.3 ± 0.75%), March (6.25 ± 0.28%) and April (1.66 ± 0.40%). The trends of GSI might have indicated that the sucker throat catfish was a batch spawner, with spawning season occuring between January and March.

The fecundity for 40 wild freshwater spiny eel Mastacembelus armatus estimated from Mymensingh region, Bangladesh during the breeding period from March to July 2004. The estimation of fecundity (mature ova) ranged from 3,155 to 24,684 eggs, the maximum fecundity was observed from a fish measuring 535 mm in length and 350 g in weight and the minimum from a fish of 260 mm in length and 51 g in weight. The maximum ova diameter was 2.75 mm in the month of April and minimum was 1.45 mm in May with a median of 2.08 mm in the month of March and then a sudden decrease in July (1.84 mm). The average number of ova present per gm body weight was 70.19 while the average number of ova present per gm ovary weight was 888.04. Fecundity increased with the increase in length and weight of the fish. Maximum GSI value for female spiny eel was 21.67% in the month of March and the minimum GSI value for the same gender was 3.30% in April and the median GSI value for the same was 8.06% in the month of May. The regressions of fecundity on body length, body weight and gonad weight of female spiny eels were Log F = 2.59 - 2.72 × Log L (r = 0.86), Log F = 1.00 + 1.84 × Log BW (r = 0.88) and Log F = 0.69 + 3.25 × Log GW (r = 0.75) respectively, where F is fecundity, L is total length (mm), BW is body weight (g) and GW is gonad weight (g). Fecundity-total length and fecunditybody weight gave a better relationship in comparison with fecundity-gonad weight relationship.

Tade gray mullet (Chelon planiceps) forms a lucrative fishery in the Hooghly-Matlah estuarine system. During eight months of investigation 232 specimens were examined to study length-weight relationship and relative condition factor (Kn). The length and weight of fish was varied from 41 to 283 mm and 0.81 to 208 g respectively. Two length-weight relationship equations were obtained from the analysis, W=0.0000397L2.952 for <187 mm size group and W=0.0000406L2.834 for >187 mm size group. The size at first maturity was recorded as 187 mm. The b value was not significantly different from 3 indicating isometric growth. The monthly mean Kn for the male and female were 1.041–1.125 and 1.009–1.236 respectively. The highest Kn value was recorded in July for both the sexes, which may be due to advance maturity stages. The present study will be useful in the context of biological management of mullet fishery as well as to find out aqua-farming potential of Tade gray mullet.

Ikan uceng (Nemacheilus fasciatus) merupakan salah satu spesies ikan air tawar di Indonesia dengan nilai ekonomi cukup tinggi yang ketersediaannya masih mengandalkan penangkapan di alam, sehingga diperlukan upaya domestikasi untuk menjaga kelestariannya. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk mengamati biologi reproduksi dan pola pertumbuhan ikan uceng di lingkungan buatan (akuarium). Ikan uceng hasil tangkapan alam dari Sungai Progo, Temanggung, Jawa Tengah (panjang total 5,55 ± 0,53 cm; bobot 2,49 ± 0,24 g) diadaptasikan selama 12 bulan di akuarium (40 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm) dengan sistem air mengalir yang dilengkapi dengan aerator. Ikan uceng diberi Tubifex, hingga sampai akhirnya dapat beradaptasi dengan pakan komersial. Pakan komersial yang diberikan yaitu sebesar 3% per hari dari biomassa tubuh dengan frekuensi dua kali sehari. Data biologi reproduksi diperoleh melalui koleksi data panjang total, bobot badan, bobot gonad, fekunditas, diameter telur, dan indeks kematangan gonad. Data pola pertumbuhan diperoleh dengan koleksi data panjang, bobot, dan sintasannya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa induk betina yang gonadnya berkembang mempunyai warna bintik hitam yang jelas, sebaliknya induk jantan warna bintik hitam memudar. Indeks kematangan gonad (IKG) yang diamati pada ikan uceng setelah 12 bulan pemeliharaan yaitu berkisar antara 0,007-0,027 pada jantan dan 0,13-0,25 pada betina. Kisaran diameter telur yang diamati yaitu berkisar antara 0,61-0,68 mm, dengan fekunditas 680-4.198 butir. Sedangkan pola pertumbuhannya menunjukkan bahwa ikan uceng betina dan jantan memiliki pola pertumbuhan allometrik negatif (b= 2,739 pada betina; b= 2,895 pada jantan). Nilai faktor kondisi Fulton (K) pada ikan uceng yang diamati yaitu 0,44-1,07 (rata-rata ± SD: 0,70 ± 0,11) pada betina dan 0,37-0,72 (rata-rata ± SD: 0,60 ± 0,06) pada jantan. Dari pengamatan ini ditemukan bahwa proses perkembangan kematangan gonad ikan uceng di akuarium lebih lambat dibandingkan ikan uceng di habitat aslinya.Barred loach (Nemacheilus fasciatus) is one of native fish species in Indonesia with high economic value, where their availability still depends on wild capture. Thus, domestication is needed to maintain its sustainability. The purpose of this study was to observe the reproductive biology and growth pattern of barred loach reared in aquarium (artificial environment). Fish were collected from Progo River, Temanggung, Central Java (total length of: 5.55 ± 0.53 cm; body weight: of 2.49 ± 0.24 g). The fish were reared for 12 months in aquarium (40 cm × 30 cm × 30 cm) with flowthrough system and equipped with aeration. The fish were fed with Tubifex until they accepted commercial feed. Then, the fish were fed twice a day at a ratio of 3% from the total fish biomass. The reproductive biology data were collected by measuring their total length, body weight, gonad weight, fecundity, egg diameter, and gonadosomatic index. Growth pattern were measured from length, weight, and survival. The results showed that matured female had shown black spot and male had inconsistent formation of black spots on their body. The gonadosomatic indexes ranged between 0.007-0.027 for male and ranged between 0,13-0,25 for female. The egg diameters ranged between 0.61-0.68 mm, with the fecundity of 680-4198 eggs. The result of observation on growth pattern showed that female and male had negative allometric growth (b= 2.739 for female, b= 2.895 for male). The value of Fulton condition factor (K) in the observed fish was 0.44-1.07 (mean ± SD: 0.70 ± 0.11) on female and 0.37-0.72 (mean ± SD: 0.60 ± 0.06) on male. From this study, it was found that gonad maturity development of barred loach reared in aquarium was slower than those in their natural habitat.
