Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Biological Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
During this studyfrom December 2009 to November 2011, 403 Thinspine seacatfish fish were caught and their weightand length were measured. Total number of caught fishes included, 33 males, 77females and 293 immature fishes. The Mean, maximum and minimum total lengths were236±82, 470 mm and 121 mm respectively. The Mean, maximum and minimum totalweight for this species was 184±150gr, 1385 gr and 14gr respectively. Thelength-weight relationship were calculated as W=0.000006FL3.07 (n=77, R2= 0.98)for females, W=0.000004FL3.15 (n=33, R2=0.98) for males and W=0.000007FL3.08(n=403, R2 =0.98) for total fishes verifying calculated b with 3, usingStudents t-test there was significant difference between calculated b and 3(P<0.05), growth pattern is allometric. The mean Values of condition factor(K) and Hepatosomatic Index (HIS) was 0/95± 0/09, 1/54± 0/2 in for totalspecimens. The highest value of K and HIS were observed in May, August and thelowest in December, June were observed. The mean value of Gonado somatic Index(GSI) for the total specimens were 0/89 ± 0/7. For both sexes, the highest GSIvalue were observed in April and the lowest GSI value in May were observed.Mean GSI value indicated that spawning time were occurred during April. The mean size at first sexual maturity (Lm)was 358mm for total fishes.
