摘要： The reproductive biology of Schizothorax o'connori (Cyprinidae: Schizothoracinae) was studied by examining 1126 individuals collected between Aug. 2008 and Aug. 2009 in the Yarlung Zangbo River, Tibet. The population had a significantly higher proportion of females than males (chi(2) test, p < 0.05). Using a logistic regression, it was determined that the standard lengths at 50% maturity were 304 mm for males and 389 mm for females; the ages at 50% maturity were 8 yr for males and 10 yr for females. Based on the monthly proportions of macroscopic gonadal maturity stages and monthly variations in the gonadosomatic index, S. o'connori spawned over a short period, from Feb. to Apr. with a peak in Mar. Females had heavier livers than males for a given eviscerated weight (ANCOVA, p < 0.05). According to the size distribution of oocytes, S. o'connori appeared to show a high degree of spawning synchronicity. The estimated values of fecundity ranged 8228-39,343 (21,190 +/- 6990) eggs/fish. The relative fecundity ranged 6.2-22.2 (14.3 +/- 3.3) eggs/g of fish. The fecundity of S. o'connori increased linearly with the standard length and total weight, but had no significant correlation with age.
