The present study on Mugil auratus is an effort to understand its ovarian developmental cycle by histological analysis of the ovaries referring to their morphological changes. Such works had been done earlier on northern part of the Caspian Sea, but it has not so far been worked out in southern part of it. During the course of one year study, specimens of Mugil auratus were caught every month from wild population, for histomorphological studies, considering the GSI as the main index. Based on histomorphological studies six ovarian stages have been recognized which are named as 1- immature, 2- early maturing, 3- late matur.....
