Maturity, spawning and fecundity of Saurida tumbil (Bloch, 1795) from Mumbai waters
The absolute fecundity of Saurida tumbil ranged between 24160 to 172000 eggs with weight range of 230-670 g. Linear relationship between fecundity and weight was more valid than that of length and ovary weight. The fish breed once a year during November to March. The length at which 50% of the females mature was calculated as 296 mm. The female dominated the commercial catch and overall male to female ratio of population was 1:1.62 throughout the year.
