The reproductive biology of Waanders's hardlipped barb, Osteochilus waandersii in the Landak River, Indonesia
2020
Overview
This study refers to the general reproductive biology of Osteochillus waandersii, and provides information about the sex ratio, gonad development stages, gonado-somatic index (GSI), length at maturity, fecundity, and growth pattern. The fish samples were collected monthly, between March and August 2018, from the Landak River, Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. A total of 234 specimens were collected using gillnets and dipnets, 136 males and 98 females, resulting in a 1.39:1 sex ratio, which is significantly different from the expected ratio of 1:1 (P<0.05). Males reached sexual maturity at a lower size than females, with a length at first maturity estimated at 137.9 mm for males and 140.3 mm for females. Analysis of the macroscopic and histological observations showed that testicles could be classified into four stages: immature, maturing, mature and spent. The GSI ranged between 1% and 9.54% and 1% and 11.67% for males and females, respectively. The ovaries were classified into five stages: immature or resting, maturing, mature, ripe, and spawned-recovering. The absolute fecundity varied from a minimum of 2130 to a maximum of 13640 eggs and a mean of 7165 eggs, corresponding to fish with total length between 145 to 177 mm and a weight between 30 to 67 g.
