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.

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.

The gonado-somatic index (GSI) and fecundity of Gangetic mud eels Monopterus cuchia (Hamilton, 1822) were investigated during January to December, 2010 at Sherpur, Bangladesh. Highest GSI value was found in the month of June and the values began to fall gradually from July to December in both sexes. The fecundity ranged from 458.0±31.22 to 1116.0±11.31 in 62 samples having a total length of 54.25±1.71 to 66.05±0.71 cm, body weight from 256.33±45.14 to 492.50±2.50 g and gonad weight from 21.32±4.48 to 55.90±0.98 g. The relationships between body length and fecundity was found to be polynomial of second order of body weight and was expressed as: Y=0.2683 X2- 1.9383 X+370.72. The regression equation established for fecundity on total body weight was Y=454.37 X-692.8. The regression equation established for fecundity on total gonad weight was Y=19.602 X-27.546. The above equation showed that the relationships between fecundity and total weight was curvilinear. A highly significant (P<0.01) linear relationship was found to exist between fecundity and gonadal weight.Bangladesh J. Zool. 41(2): 165-172, 2013

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.

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.

Abstract Regression parameters for the length of several bony structures against fish body length, and for body length against body weight, were determined for Owens tui chub Siphateles bicolor snyderi, Lahontan tui chub Siphateles bicolor obesa, and hybrid swarm deriving from the two species. Two-hundred eleven individuals from 16 localities from the Owens River and neighboring basins along the border between California and Nevada were used for regression analyses. The coefficient of determination of linear regressions for scales, pharyngeal arches, dentaries, cleithra, and opercula against body length were consistently high (r2 ≥ 0.9). Differences between subspecies were mainly with reference to the intercept parameter in comparisons involving Lahontan tui chub. Coefficients of determination from log-linear length–weight regressions were also high (r2 ≥ 0.9) for individual taxa and for the pooled data set combining both Lahontan and hybrid species. The length–weight relationship did not differ between subspecies. Estimates of the length–weight relationship using data pooling both Lahontan and hybrid tui chub suggest a weak allometric growth effect (P &lt; 0.05). The bone-length to body-length and body-length to body-weight relationships presented here will be useful tools for future dietary studies of tui chub predators as well as for archaeological and paleontological studies on tui chub remains.
