Title Population structure of the mullets Liza subviridis, L. carinata and Valamugil cunnesius (Family Mugilidae) from Sandspit backwaters along Karachi coast (northern Arabian Sea)
 
Creator Samad, Mateen

Description 312-319
Among the
three species, adults and some juveniles of Liza subviridis and L.
carinata exhibited fair abundance and Valamugil cunnesius showed low
catches. The important aspect of the study was V. cunnesius occurred
only during the monsoon months (May to September). Monthly analysis of the data
shows that one of the three species remained abundant in each sampling month in
view of the fact that V. cunnesius formed dominating component in three
hauls made in July 1992 as compared to L. subviridis and L. carinata.
Such assemblage of the species collected may be due to the environmental
and biological factors prevailing in the area. The stages of maturity and
oocytes in the gonads indicated that spawning seems to be continuous. Spawning
of L. subviridis and L. carinata starts earlier in the month of
January and

extends to March; while V.
cunnesius spawns in July and August.
