Abstract
|
|
|
|
The seasonal reproductive cycle of the female honeycomb grouper, Epinephelus merra, inhabiting Chuuk was examined by histological observations of the ovaries. The gonadosomatic index (GSI) began to increase in February and peaked in March. Histological observations revealed many oocytes laden with yolk in the ovaries from March to April. From June to January, the ovaries were occupied by immature oocytes. These results suggest that the reproductive season of E. merra in Chuuk is from March through April.
