Description 87-88
The present study on breeding biology of Harpiosquilla melanoura Manning
occurring in Parangipettai waters covers size at first maturity, sex ratio,
fecundity and annual reproductive cycle. The minimum size at first maturity was
found to be 142 mm and it was attained during the second year. Sex ratio showed
that it conformed to the expected 1:1 ratio in all the months expect one.
However when the data were pooled for the whole year, it conformed to 1:1.
Fecundity varied from 5,24,963 ova for an animal with a total length of 153 mm
to 10,04,523 ova for 220 mm. Fecundity varied significantly between various
size groups and showed perfect positive correlation with total length, total
weight and ovary weight. Breeding was found to be for an extended period and
the peak breeding activity was noticed in the postrnonsoon season (January-March).
