ABSTRACT

Studies have been carried out on maturity of oocyte (egg) in Channa striatus. Somatic index of the Channa striatus from Son river Shahdol district In order to complete the task development of oocytes was measured with the help of oculometer and maturity stage of gonad was found to vary according to different breeding phases. The present study on gonads was undertaken to trace accurately spawning period of Channa striatus. This is reported in terms of gonado somatic index which expresses the relative change in gonad weight to the percentage of body weight. During present study the peak value of GSI was observed only once in the month of May (47.24 %) indicating only one spawning period in Channa striatus. i.e. from June to August.
