Reproductive biology of Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) in coastal Waters of the Northwest of Persian Gulf
Authors
Abstract:
Some aspects of the reproductive biology of Hilsa Shad, Tenualosa ilisha from the Persian Gulf and rivers of Khouzestan Province of Iran were analyzed. A total of 485 fish were sampled by gillnet from landing center of Arvand (AR) and Bahmanshir (BR) rivers during period of April 2010 to September 2010. Reproductive characteristic of T.ilisha showed that sex ratio is M: F=1:2, in PG, AR and BR. This means that females predominate than males. Monthly variations in Gonadosomatic index (GSI) of both sexes were quite apparent. In PG, maximum values were recorded in April for male and female. In AR and BR, maximum values were recorded in June and May for male and female, respectively. Changes in GSI indices are considered as a proof that maturation season in AR and BR is started from March and spawning is started from April to July in AR and BR is started from March to August. The Length - Weight relationship was measured for PG as W= 1.459L2.687, AR and BR as W=2.189L3.166 and W=1.840L2.937, respectively.

full textInvestigation of Stock Status of Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha Hamilton, 1822) in the Southern Waters of Iran
Hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha Hamilton, 1822) is a migratory fish and as one of the most important species in the southern parts of Iran, so that during the last decade, the amount of its catch has fluctuated a lot. Due to the limited data available on the stock of this species in southern waters, it is not possible to use models based on complementary data to assess its stock. In the present st...
full textUse of RAPD fingerprinting for delineating populations of hilsa shad Tenualosa ilisha (Hamilton, 1822).
RAPD was used to delineate the hilsa populations sampled from the Ganga, Yamuna, Hooghly, and Narmada Rivers at six different locations. Six degenerate primers were used to generate the fragment patterns from the samples collected. All primers were highly polymorphic and generated high numbers of amplification products. Nei's genetic distances were calculated between locations. The overall aver...

This study was conducted to determine some aspects of reproductive biology of the Indo-Pacific swimming crab, Charybdis hellerii (A. Milne-Edwards, 1867) in coastal waters of the Persian Gulf (Hormozgan province) from June 2015 to May 2016. The results showed that the annual sex ratio is F: M=1:1.3, with 57.4 % males. All the five stages of ovarian development of C. hellerii were observed throu...

Stock assessment and reproductive biology of the blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus, in Bandar Abbas coastal waters was conducted from August 2006 to July 2007. A total of 424 male and 348 female crabs were taken to the laboratory for length, weight and reproductive biometry. Estimate of growth parameter of crab showed t asymptotic carapace width (CW) was 172.5 mm, the curvature parameter, ...

A reproductive biology study of blue swimming crab, Portunus segnis (Forskal, 1775) in the northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, was conducted from May 2010 to October 2011. The results showed that the annual sex ratio is not M: F=1:1, with 51.9 % female. All the five stages of ovarian development of P. segnis were observed throughout the year. The size of ovigerous crabs varied from 103 to 155...
