Maturation and spawing in many teleosts from the Indian waters have been studied
by different authors using conventional methods. The most common among these
methods are seasonal changes in the condition of gonads and the ova diameter frequency
distribution. The latter is supposed to give an index of the progression of oocytes and
their withdrawal from the ovaries. There are several drawbacks in these methods, as
they were essentially developed for fishes from the temperate regions. It is therefore
desirable that other methods should also be used for arriving at a realistic picture of the
spawning process. Maturity is clearly linked with the growth rate of fishes and hence
the two phases—pre-and post-maturity—should be clearly distinguished. Spawning in
a population is possibly geared to external events, when conditions for the newly
produced broods are most favourable. Fishes in the Indian waters spawn in all the
months of the year, but along the east coast spawning largely seems to occur during the
pre-monsoon months and along the west coast during the monsoon and post-monsoon
months. Many species appear to be continuous breeders, and hence to develop a clear
understanding of their maturation and spawning, it is necessary to make observations
throughout the year.
