Reproduction biology of Astacus leptodactylus eichwaldi in the Iranian coastal water of the Caspian Sea (Bandar Anzali)
Sampling of Astacus leptodactylusc were conducted in order to determination of biometrical and biological parameters suchas length , weight , sex ratio , fecundity and natural reproduction time . Two transect were selected at 49 34 and 49 36 geographical position on east Caspian Sea near to Anzali city . Metalic foulding trap with Silurus glanis as attractive diet were used to catch Astacus leptodactylusc At each line the traps were set on depth of 35,45 ,55 and 65 (5 trap at each depth) . Random sampling from each depth on tow lin for one year were conducted and the biometry performed on catched Astacus leptodactylusc where their sext uality and their ration were detemined for eacd month , season and whole year. absolute fecundity determined by cooking Astacus leptodactylusc , taking out the ovary weighing and counting them .Working fecundity assesed by separating eggs from their swiming leges while enomerate all egg . Complete randomized test of ANOVA for analysing the data were employed. The results showed average length and welght were calculated 122/07±1/74mm and 57/96±1/81gr respectively. Average absolute fecundity was 310/22 ±10/72 eggs , average working fecundity was 251/84±8/84 eggs , Average ovary weight was determined 4/31 ±619 gr and average number of eggs in one gr was 74/52±1/53 eggs .The sextual ratio in all year long was 1:1.32 . The reproduction season is about seven month from Febrary to July and the moulting of males occures two times each year. One of time is at may and the other is in September . The female molt thtina as the male start for second time.
