Abstract:

Breeding biology study in C. striatus of Badin district described from 80 matured fishes. It was observed that the egg size was found to be increased during July to October (0.70 to 1.30 mm). This resulted the spawning period of C. striatus starts from July to October with peak in September. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) values indicated single peak (2.10 and 8.0) during September for both the sexes respectively.

Keywords:

Breeding biology, fecundity, gonadosomatic index, C. striatus, Badin district
