Abstract
The ovarian maturation in Etroplus maculatus (Bloch), an estuarine tel eost brought about well marked changes in the various energy reserves. Protein from the muscle and liver was used up most. Lipid concentrati ons got depleted considerably during advanced stages of maturity. Alth ough glycogen seemed to have no part to play during reproduction, an i ncreased concentration of lactic acid indicated that a considerable qu antity of glycogen was definitely used up during maturation.
