Abstract:

Mystus vittatus, an indigenous fish species of West-Bengal are economically important due to its delicious taste. The ovarian histo-morphology and its annual changes and the spawning periodicity of this catfish were studied collected monthly in one year period of November, 2012 to October, 2013. The fecundity, gonado-somatic index, different stages of ovarian development (nucleus changes, oocyte diameter and formation of yolk vesicles, yolk granules and lipid droplets through histological observation) of M. vittatus were also observed in this article.

Keywords:

Mystus vittatus, gonado-somatic index, fecundity.
