Reproductive ecology of the glowbelly, Acropoma japonicum (Perciformes: Acropomatidae) in the coastal waters off Gori, Korea

was examined using 637 specimenscollected monthly from January to December 2006 in the coastal waters off Gori, Korea. The specimensranged in standard length (cm , SL ) from 2.9 to 11.4 cm for female, 2.7 to 10.5 cm for male. Thegonadosomatic index (GSI) of female was highest in September and decreased until December, and thespawning season lasted from August to November. The monthly sex was not different significantly (
