Abstract
The present study evaluated the length-weight relationship (LWR), condition factor (K), gonads index (GI), and visceral mass index (VMI) of golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus from South China Sea. A total of 90 males and 101 females were collected from offshore sea cagesfrom Hainan Province. The LWR of male golden pompano can be expressed as W = 0.1158L2.6391, while the LWR of female golden pompano can be expressed as W = 0.0736L2.778. The K, GI and VMI of male golden pompano were 11.47 ± 0.82, 0.12 ± 0.08, and 5.91 ± 0.75, respectively. The K, GI and VMI of female golden pompano were 14.31 ± 9.81, 0.29 ± 0.16, and 6.22 ± 0.84, respectively. Results from the present study provide biological information on the broodstocks culture of golden pompano, which could be useful in the practices of broodstocks management.
