Description Detailed histological studies of the gonads oi Etroplus suratensis (Bloch) collected from the brackishwater
areas of Poothotta near Cochin during May 83 - April 84 have shown that the peak breeding
season of the spscies is in December and January. A secondary peak is also noticed in June and July.
During peak growth phases of the gonads, the gonadotrophs of the pituitary are found to be active
and prominent denoting a close relationship between the activity of these cells and the maturation
of the gonads of the species. The gonadotrophs are seen less prominent and inactive during
non-biceding months. The details of the maturity stages of the male and the female have also been
described.
