Macroscopic and microscopic exarnination of gonads indicate a single, distinct reproductive season fram April lo October during lhe wet season. The mean síze at maturity for males :me! females was 50-60 cm total length. Fecundity was 1.124 - 99. 087 eggs per ripe female and i! is linearly related to fish length ane! body weight by the equations: F = 1150.6 length - 74130.6 and F = 8.59 weight - 7485.6. The total length-weight regressionwas !oglO weight= -2.964 + 3.351 ¡oglo lenglh for males , ane! loglO weight = -2.729 + 3.211 loglo length for females. The dominant groups found in the stomachs were Cichlidae, Poeciliidae, Characidae, Pi.melodidae, Gymnotidae ane! crustaceans, in order of decreasing importance. |
