  This study was carried out in Babolrood river ( Mazandaran province) from 5 September 2008 to 6 August 2009 on Leuciscus cephalus ( mahi sephid rood khanei ). The sampling was montly and samples were collected by Electroshocker. In total 441 Leuciscus cephalus were caught.Maximum fish abundance in stage 3 with 21.02 percent and the lowest number in sex maturation stage 6 with a frequency of 8.55 percent were. Maximum number of fish in terms of male gender in sex maturation stage 3 with the frequency of 20.55 percent and the lowest number was in step 6 with a frequency of 7.22 percent. The highest percent of female, in sex maturation stage 3 with 21.34 percent and the lowest number in step 7with a frequency of 8.70 percent were found. The mean diameter of oocytes in female fish from November to May was in ascending trend and mean was in May (69.83 ± 12.90 µ). The absolute fecundity minimum was 3005, maximum was 13194 and mean egg number was estimated to be 8038. The average percentage of gonad somatic maturation index (GSI) for males was 1.47 ± 0.94, for female was 2.95 ± 1.83 respectively. The total mean of condition factor (CF) was evaluated to be 1.12 ± 0.14 for males and 1.17 ± 0.15 for females. According to this review spawning time is from mid-May to late June and their spawning type once a time. Manuscript profile

  This study was carried out in BabolroodRiver ( Mazandaran province) from 5 September 2008 to 6 August 2009 on Leuciscus cephalus ( mahi sephid roodkhanei ). The sampling was montly and samples were collected by Electroshocker. In total 441 numbers of Leuciscus cephalus were caught. Sex ratio of male to female was 1 to 1.41 respectively. The average total length was 165.629.81 mm, within average Maximum in May (190.638.32 mm), and an average Minimum in October (137.526.70 mm). Average Fork length and weight for males was139.7226.49 mm and 43.18 21.58 gr, this value for female was152.8830.06 mm and 57.3227.08 gr respectively. ANOVA results showed significant differences ( P<0.05). Between male and female fork length and weight. Positive regression obtained between fork length and total length showed an R2=.950. Samples belonged to 9 ages groups (0+,1,1+,2,2+,3,3+,4,4+).  Maximum number of fish were in age group 2 and minimum number of  fish were in age group 4+.  Gonad somatic index (GSI) for males was 1.47 ± 0.94, and for females was 2.95 ± 1.83 respectively. The total mean of HSI was evaluated to be 0.73 ± 0.49 for males and 1.08 ± 0.71 for females.According to the present study spawning time was from mid-May to late June and their spawning is batch spawning.
