| Abstract: | Population of Gazza minuta spawns during July-January and individual fish spawns once for a shorter duration. Higher gonado-somatic indices recorded during July-December correspond well with spawning season and females always register higher values than males. The values of relative condition factor during different months indicate that they are not influenced by reproductive cycle. Males mature between 81 and 116 mm of total length (TL) while females between 91 and 121 mm TL. Sex-ratio shows the general preponderance of females over males. Fecundity ranges from 11645 to 26735 ova indicating an increase in relation to length and weight of the fish. |
