Maturation, minimum length at first maturity, spawning season, spawning periodicity, sex-ratio and absolute fecundity of Mystus vittatus, a common bagrid catfish, have been investigated. The observations show that spawning takes place during September and October. Each individual spawns only once in the season as evidenced by the study of the intraovarian ova. Females dominate the catches, and absolute fecundity (F) can be expressed by% MathType!MTEF!2!1!+-% feaafiart1ev1aaatCvAUfeBSjuyZL2yd9gzLbvyNv2CaerbuLwBLn% hiov2DGi1BTfMBaeXatLxBI9gBaerbd9wDYLwzYbItLDharqqtubsr% 4rNCHbGeaGak0dh9WrFfpC0xh9vqqj-hEeeu0xXdbba9frFj0-OqFf% ea0dXdd9vqaq-JfrVkFHe9pgea0dXdar-Jb9hs0dXdbPYxe9vr0-vr% 0-vqpWqaaeaabaGaaiaacaqabeaadaqaaqaaaOabaeqabaGaciiBai% aac+gacaGGNbGaaeiiaiaabAeacaqGGaGaaeypaiaabccacaqGTaGa% ae4maiaab6cacaqGYaGaaeyoaiaabkdacaqGGaGaae4kaiaabccaca% qG0aGaaeOlaiaabgdacaqG3aGaaeymaiaabgdacaqGGaGaaeiBaiaa% b+gacaqGNbGaaeiiaiaabYeaaeaacaqGHbGaaeOBaiaabsgacaqGGa% GaaeOraiaabccacaqG9aGaaeiiaiaab2cacaqGXaGaaeOlaiaabwda% caqG0aGaaeinaiaabwdacaqGGaGaae4kaiaabccacaqGWaGaaeOlai% aabMdacaqG0aGaae4naiaabkdacaqGGaGaae4vaaaaaa!5FCC!\[\begin{gathered} \log {\text{ F = - 3}}{\text{.292 + 4}}{\text{.1711 log L}} \hfill \\ {\text{and F = - 1}}{\text{.5445 + 0}}{\text{.9472 W}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \] |
