Abstract
This paper describes the morphology,histology of gonad in Trachidermus fasciatus.The fishes were hatched in April 2011.Based on the histological features,the development of gonad could be divided into 5 stages.The testis developed into stage Ⅰ in July.Then the testis developed into stage Ⅱ in August.In September,the testis developed into stage Ⅲ.During October and November,they stayed in the stage of Ⅳ.In December,the testis developed into stage Ⅴ finally and continued to the next January.During July to September,the ovaries were at stage Ⅱ,and then developed into stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ in October and November separately.In December and January,the ovaries stayed in the stage of Ⅴ.The results of this study indicated that the maturation age of Trachidermus fasciatus is 1 year old.
