Aspius aspius Female Absolute fecundity Mean of 158.526 ± 56.659 [Range 63,044 in females 43.3 cm in length and 324,833 in female 64.3 cm length] [Absolute fecundities in other populations: 16-269; 48.3-121.9; 52.2-212.8; 67.6-189.0; 73.5-366.5; 63-324.8] 158.53 thousand eggs
Aspius aspius Female Onset of oogenesis During the fall from September to November, the average GSI value rose sharply to a level close to that seen in the pre-spawning period ['September', 'October', 'November', 'December']
Aspius aspius Female Maximum GSI value The highest average values of this index among females 12.07 occurred at the end of March. This is also when the maximum individual value of this index was observed 20.73 (range 0.22-20.73) 10.47 percent
Aspius aspius Female Resting period 1.61 [Between May to August] 1.61 months
Aspius aspius Female Resting period In April, the average female GSI fell to 1.77, which indicates that the majority of the studied fish had already spawned. In May the female GSI value was even lower at 1.04. During the fall from September to November, the average GSI value rose sharply to a level close to that seen in the pre-spawning period. 1.77 months
