Preliminary Report on the Size-specific Variation in Length-weight Relationship, Relative Condition Factor, and Gonad Maturation of Bigeye Scad Selar crumenopthalmus (Bloch, 1793) in the northern Sulu Sea, Philippines
Abstract:A preliminary investigation on the size-specific variation in the length-weight relationship, relative condition factor, and gonad maturation of Bigeye scad, Selar crumenopthalmus, was conducted from April to May 2018 in the northern Sulu Sea, Philippines. A total of 435 samples were collected using a ring net. The results showed a shift from isometric to negative allometric growth pattern, good condition, and earlier maturation in males in S. crumenopthalmus. These findings help us understand some aspects of … Show more
