Abstract:
The 64 sampled Scyllarides latus were collected from the Syrian marine waters in the Ibn Hani area at a depth ranging between 40-90 m at a rate of once a month during the period from January to December 2019 using lined nets and cages. The weight of the samples and the total length of the body were measured, and carapace length-width. where females constituted 44% and males 56% of the total number of sample members. During the breeding season it ranged between (681 – 868 microns) and the diameter was 868 microns the greatest diameter of eggs during the breeding season, and it was found that there are strong correlations between height and weight.
Key words: Scyllarides latus, Absolute Fecundity, Egg Diameter, linear correlation.
