Abstract

The spawning habit and fecundity of Johnius vogleri from Veraval area has been studied. Fecundity in this species varied from 78,447 to 3,41,178 with an average of 1,54,202 eggs. The relationship between fecundity and length was Log F = - 2.2632 + 3.1559 Log L, the co-relation coefficient r was 0.9460, ovary weight and fecundity relationship was Log F = 1.1702 + 0.9647 Log OW and the relationship between fish weight and fecundity was Log F = 0.0406 + 0.8905 Log FW.
