Abstract:
This study investigates the ovarian development, spawning patterns, maturity size and fecundity of the
goby Glossogobius giuris–a commercial fish in the Vietnamese Mekong Delta–based on the data analysis of
659 individuals. Specimens were caught using trawl nets from four sites representing freshwater (Cai
Rang, Can Tho) to salinized regions in the dry season (Long Phu, Soc Trang), and brackish water regions
(Hoa Binh, Bac Lieu and Dam Doi, Ca Mau) over the 12 months of 2020. Histological analysis showed that
it was a multi-spawner as different stages of oocytes appeared in mature ovaries. The fish could spawn
throughout the year, with a peak in April at the freshwater region and in September at salinized and
brackish areas as mature ovaries appeared monthly during the studied period and gonadosomatic index
displayed the highest value in April and in September, respectively. This goby’s primary egg releasing
time tended to be regulated by salinity changes over the four sampling sites. Likewise, size at first maturity
of this species could be related to the salinity variation as this value was the longest in freshwater (6.
14 ± 0.17) and the shortest in the salinization region (4.82 ± 0.66). Batch fecundity is measured at 5,118–
100,003 eggs/female and related to fish length and weight (r2 > 0.76). Findings can be useful for the development
of fish conservation strategies and artificial reproducing studies.
