We examined the ovaries of 312 robust tonguefish (Cynoglossus robustus) collected each month from January to December 2001, off the coast of Yeosu, Korea.The samples were used to investigate robust tonguefish reproductive activity. Monthly changes in the gonadosomatic indexindicated that spawning peaked between June and August. Fish size at first spawning was 15-19 cm total length (TL). Over 50% of female fish 25-29 cm TL were sexually mature, and this rose to 100% for female fish 35-39 cm TL. The tonguefish spawned four or more times during the spawning season. Most females commenced spawning in their second year. The relationship between total length (cm TL) and fecundity (F) was F=528646Ln(TL)-1E+06.
