Title Reproductive biology of grouper fish Epinephelus tauvina (Family Serranidae) in the Arabian Gulf waters
 
Creator Sayed, Abdel-Fattah M. El
Abdel-Bary, Kamal
 
Description 89-91
The
reproductive cycle, gonads maturation, gonado-somatic indices (GSI ), fecundity
and spawning rhythm of grouper, Epinephelus tauvina, from the Arabian
Gulf waters off Qatar
were investigated. Spawning was restricted to a short period extending from
late May to early June with a peak in the second quarter of the lunar month.
Spawning was completed at about the full moon. No changes in gonad conditions
were noted from June through February. Fish reach their first sexual maturity
at about 53 cm total length and all fish greater than 70 cm were all mature.
Non-linear relationships were found between absolute

fecundity and fish length and
weight.
