Ikan betok (Anabas testudineus) adalah salah satu jenis ikan ekonomis penting yang dihasilkan dari perairan paparan banjiran. Penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengkaji beberapa aspek biologi reproduksi ikan betok di paparan banjiran Lubuk Lampam, Kabupaten Ogan Komering Ilir dilakukan pada bulan Nopember 2012-Oktober 2013. Sampel ikan ditangkap setiap bulanmenggunakan alat tangkap jaring dan bengkirai.Analisis data meliputi sebaran frekuensi ukuran panjang, nisbah kelamin, tingkat kematangan gonad, indeks kematangan gonad, ukuran pertamakali matang gonad, potensi reproduksi dan pola reproduksi. Jumlah sampel ikan betok yang diperoleh sebanyak 540 ekor, terdiri dari 187 ekor ikan jantan dan 353 ekor ikan betina, dengan kisaran panjang ikan betina antara 27-224 mm dan ikan jantan antara 48-243 mm. Rasio kelamin ikan jantan dan betina adalah 0,53 : 1. Tingkat kematangan gonad (TKG) ikan jantan dan betina yang paling banyak ditemui adalah TKG I dengan frekuensi tertinggi pada ukuran 116-132 mm dan 114-129 mmmasing-masing berjumlah 34 dan 33 ekor. Perkembangan tingkat kematangan gonad ikan betok dipengaruhi oleh perubahan tinggimuka air secara musiman. Indek kematangan gonad ikan jantan pada TKGIV berkisar 1,3-15,0%dan ikan betina berkisar antara 1,2 17,1%. Ukuran pertama kali matang gonad ikan betina adalah pada panjang total 160 mm dan ikan jantan pada panjang total 177 mm. Fekunditas ikan betok berkisar antara 224–182.736 butir dengan diameter telur berkisar antara 0,465-1,026 mmdengan pola pemijahan secara sebagian. Climbing perch, Anabas testudineus is a dominant commercial fish inhabit floodplain area of Lubuk Lampam, Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. A study aimed to investigate some aspects of the reproductive biology of climbing perch has been conducted at floodplain of Lubuk Lampam, Ogan Komering Ilir regency from November 2012 to October 2013. Fish sampling was conducted every month using nets and bamboo trap. The data analysis includes lenght frequency distribution, sex ratio, the gonado maturity, gonado somatic index, the size at first maturity, fecundity and reproductive patterns. Climbing perch sample amounted of 540 specimen compose of 187 males and 353 females, with the lenght frequency between 27-224 mm (female) and 48-243 mm (male). Sex ratio of the male and female of the climbing perch was 0,53 : 1. The gonado maturity of male and female are mostly at the first level with the highest frequency between 116-132 mm and 114-129 mm, equivalent to 34 and 33 specimen, respectively. The development of gonado maturity of climbing perch was influenced by seasonally of water level fluctuation. Gonado somatic index of maturity of male and female range 1.3-15.0% and 1.2 -17.1%, respectively. The size at the first maturity of the female was 160 mm lenght and of the male was 177 mm lenght. The fecundity ranges 224 to182,736 eggs with the egg diameter ranges 0.465-1.026 mm and the climbing perch was classified into partially spawner.
