ABSTRACT

Fish samples of Indian hill trout Barilius bendelisis, were collected from the Gaula river (290 17’ 25’’ N Latitude, 790 32’ 143’’ E) and reared in captive condition at Directorate of Coldwater Fisheries Research, Bhimtal (29021´ N, 79034´ E, altitude 1370 m MSL).Gonadosomatic index was found maximum in May for females (13.24 ± 0.92) and males (1.13 ± 0.07) respectively indicating a single spawning period of this species under captivity. Absolute fecundity (total number of eggs) varied from 320 to 4000. The average absolute fecundity was 1661 ± 304.6 at a total length 10.07 ± 0.30 cm and body weight of 11.92 ± 1.23 g. Histological study of the ovary  revealed the presence of oocytes at different stages of maturity with a maximum number of the mature oocytes during April to May.  Results of the present investigation suggest that B. bendelisis belongs to a category of low fecund fish and spawns during April and May under captive condition.
