Abstract
88 words
Breeding seasonality and size-at-first maturity of Synodontis
njassae in southeast arm of Lakes Malawi was studied. It was
found that males mature earlier than females (10.6cm and 11cm,
respectively). The size at 50% maturity for both sexes was 12-
13cm. This species has small eggs, with an average fecundity
of 3985 ± 39.690. The species has two breeding seasons. The
first spawning occurs in February to March (GSI falls from
4.09 to 2.37) and the second spawning occurs from September
to November (GSI falling from 3.5 to 2).
