The gonadal cycle constitutes a significant biological parameter to be investigated in the
fields of Anabas testudineusreproductive biology and ecology and fisheries science.
Maturity data may also be used to carry out temporary analysis of fish stocks' life-history
characteristics. Maturity data was often used to characterise the species' gondola cycle and
to track long-term transition in the reproductive cycle. That's why, according to the
reproductive plan of the genus, the maturity stage should be calculated. In the current
research, the gonadal cycle is observed by Anabas testudineus to maturity. The ripeness
scales should ideally be based on quantitative and universal gonadal properties, which are
measured macroscopically since they are less costly and labour intensive than microscope
maturity stadiums.. The rate of ripeness should be standardised.
