Abstract
The reproductive pattern of longnose trevally Carangoides chrysophrys in the Arabian Sea off the coast of Oman is described Samples were collected on a monthly base between April 2005 and September 2006 from two landing sites ALlakbi and Raysuot A single peak of the gonadosomatic index GSI started from September and ended in February signalling the spawning period Values of the relative condition factor K n were fairly constant throughout the year for both males and females and no significantly difference was found in the average K n values between males and females during sampling period Male and female lengthsat 50 maturity were 4690 and 4208 cm respectively and were significantly different This study thus increases our understanding of the reproductive biology of an important commercial and artisanal fish species in one of its major distribution areasThe authors would like to acknowledge the assistance from the staff of the Ministry of Fisheries Wealth in collecting the samples and data management We thank Yong Chen University of Maine Ewen Mclean University of Trinidad and Tobago and two anonymous referees for their helpful comments on an earlier draft of this manuscript This project was financially supported by the Agriculture and Fisheries Research Fund of the Sultanate of Oman
