Abstract
The maturity and spawning of brown sole, Pleuronectes herzensteini were investigated using samples randomly collected in the East Sea of Korea from April, 2003 to March, 2004. We analyzed monthly changes in maturity stages, gonadosomatic index (GSI), egg diameter, fecundity (F), total length (TL) at 50% group maturity, and sex ratio. The spawning period was February to May, and the main spawning period was March to April. The fecundity was 38,702 eggs at 22 cm (TL) to 133,085 eggs at 37 cm (TL), and the relationship between TL and F was $F=11.307TL^{2.628}$. The TL at first maturity was 15 cm and at 100% maturity, 21 cm. Thus, TL at 50% group maturity was estimated to be 17.8 cm, which corrensponded to the age of 3 years. The sex ratio was 60.2 for female and 39.8 for male, where the female population was seen to be slightly predominant.
