Abstract
About 142 fish specimens of Scomber japonicus (Houttuyn, 1782) were collected between the coast of Tripoli (east) and Zuwara (west), from May 2018 to April 2019, to study the stages of oogenetic and spermatogenetic development, by analyzing their histological sections. The results showed that the developmental status of these gonads is Asynchronous development type; It was found that both the ovaries and testes mature gradually so that these fish can lay eggs and sperm in the form of batches during the breeding season (June - October).
