摘要
The reproductive biology of Schizopygopsis younghusbandi(Cyprinidae: Schizothoracinae) was studied by 719 individuals that collected from August 2008 to August 2009 in the middle reaches of Yarlung Tsangpo River, China. We coupled monthly variations of the gonadosomatic index(GSI), monthly proportions of the macroscopic maturity stages with size distribution of oocytes to evaluate spawning seasons. Taken as a set, these results indicated that S. younghusband i spawned from March to April with high degree of the spawning synchronicity. The standard lengths and the ages at 50% maturity for male were 222 mm and 4.4 year, and 308 mm and 7.0 year for female. In addition, the estimated mean fecundity and mean relative fecundity were 18682 and 57.8 eggs per g body weight. The fecundity of S. younghusbandi increased linearly with increasing of standard length and body weight. This study provides details about the S. younghusbandi reproduction suggesting that may be this species is vulnerable to exploitation in the middle reaches of Yarlung Tsangpo River.
