The mean individual fecundity of the population was estimated. Fecundity was related to either length and/or weight. Our data showed that this species presents high fecundity and is thus suitable for comercial culture. The fecundity/length and fecundity/weight relationships obtained are: F = - 14 712 + 2 311,8 L and F = -1493,9 + 798,76 W9-15porArtigo10.1590/S0101-81751989000100002S0101-81751989000100002Acesso abertoS0101-81751989000100002.pdf
