The first maturation in females was recorded at 15 months of age, at weight 267.8g, length 22.4cm, and percentage 0.96 % of the tested sample, while in males was recorded at 12 months with a ratio of 13 % of the tested sample, weight was 73.4- 92.2gand length was 14.9-16.2 cm. The complete sexual maturity of female occurred at 36 months of age at body weight ranging from 461.9 to 934.6g and, which the total length was 30.3-42.4cm,but in males at the same age and average body weights ranging from 340 to 669.4 g with length 29.5-34.6cm.
