Аннотация:Features of reproductive biology and the stages of early ontogeny are described in the mass tropical
species manybar goatfish Parupeneus multifasciatus. In general, in the catches represented by mainly sexually
mature fishes, females prevail but males prevail in the largest size classes. The females reach their first sexual
maturity by approximately 110 mm fork length, and they are characterized by continuous oogenesis and egg
deposition in batches. The fish spawn over the entire year with a trend to lower values of the gonadosomatic
index (GSI) of the females from June to October. The features of early ontogeny are compared in manybar
goatfish and red mullet Mullus barbatus ponticus from the Black Sea.
