Abstract

Siganids are excellent food fishes
having great mariculture potential and some
information on the biology of this group is
available (Lam, 1974; Hasse et al, 1977).
Works on siganids from Indian v/aters are
scanty, being restricted to that of traditional
trap fishery (Mohan, 1985), food and feeding
(Balasubramanyam and Natarajan, 1980),
taxonomy (Pius, 1984) and length-weight
relationship (Lazarus and Reddy, 1986-'87).
The present study deals with length-weight
relationship, maturation and spawning of
S. canaliculatus from Keelakarai (Gulf of
Mannar).
