A total of 1120 fish was collected from different landing sites along the Iranian waters. Yearly analysis of the reproductive stages and gonadosomatic index showed a single reproductive cycle beginning in March and continued with a single spawning period from August to September. The mean length at first maturity (Lm 50%) for females was 83.6 Cm. The sex ratio was M: F = 0.97:1 which was not significantly (P > 0.05) different among samples (χ2 test). Isometric growth for this species was approved.  }, keywords = {King fish,Persian Gulf,Oman Sea,Gonadosomatic index,Sex ratio,Lm50%}, url = {https://jifro.areeo.ac.ir/article_114069.html}, eprint = {https://jifro.areeo.ac.ir/article_114069_1fc7072615b5f1f695949ae9a689fb66.pdf} }
