At Veraval, Sciaena glauca occupies an important position among the sciaenids m trawl catches. Intraovarian studies of this species showed that the spawning period was during December-April and the species bred only once a year. Fecundity varied from 57,654 to 3,44,288 eggs. The relationship between fecundity and length of fish, weight of ovary and fish weight was estimated.
