Description Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota spawns more than once in a year i.e. during the postmonsoon
(October to January) and in monsoon periods (June to September). An increase in the gonad index is observed
during September and December 1985 and again during April and May 1986. The macroscopic and microscopic
features of gonads have been described. The tubules are found to be longer and narrower in males when compared
to the females. The ripe oocytes measured upto 220 |i. The spiawning of Holothuria (Mertensiothuria) leucospilota
appeared to be influenced by low temperature and salinity. The relationships between the gonad index, temperature
and salinity are not significant during the study period.
