Subject Fish breeding
 
Description In Dasyatis imbricatus only the ovary and the uterus on the left side are
functional. It has a prolonged breeding season from December to July and produces
1 or 2 emibryos. The ova are ready for ovulation even before the parturition
of the embryo in the uterus. The females reach maturity when they attain the size
of 170-179 mm as confirmed by the ponderal index. The males in the 160-169inin
size group are mature as judged by the relationship between body length and
elasper length. S;xes in the commerical catches vary — 51.25% mles to 48.75%
