3.5.9.5 Reproductive biology<br />
Information of reproductive biology of T.ilishia from Indus is very rare. After the<br />
study of Qureshi, 1968 a & b) no comprehensive study appeared most of the data<br />
available is from Indian water. Recent studies that are of Narejo (199) and<br />
Panhwar (2006) give some data on the fecundity and reproduction but these<br />
studies are quite inconclusive. A detail account of studied carried out are given in<br />
the Table 6.<br />
