in females. The calculated Lm for C. arel was 217 mm 

 for males and 225 mm for females. 



In C. lida, no specimen of either sex was mature until 

 the 137- 143 mm size-group, and the percentage occur- 

 rence of mature specimens increased gradually from 



then on (Fig. 15). All male fish were mature at the 

 186-192mm size-group, and females at the 193-199 

 mm size-group. In C. lida, Lm ( = L5o) was calculated 

 as 167mm for males and 179mm for females. In both 

 species, males mature at a smaller size than females.
