Abstract

The spiny eel Mastacembelus armatus is an economically important freshwater food fish native of India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Indonesia and other parts of South-east Asia. The study was conducted from river Narmada to determine the fecundity of Mastacembelus armatus during the period of one year (2006-2007). Fecundity of fish was determined by numerical method. It ranged from 1872 eggs to 5402 eggs in total length range of 42.1 to 47.9cms. The Fecundity of Mastacembelus armatus in relation to fish length, fish weight & ovary weight was worked out.
