Abstract: The reproductive biology of Common Pandora (Pagellus erthrinus) collected from the coast off Benghazi, Libya were investigated. A total of 225 specimens were collected throughout a year of 2011-2012. The sex ratio was 0.22: 0.13: 0.65 for males to hermaphrodites to females. First maturation size for males were (24.5 cm), for hermaphrodite were (25.0 cm), and for females were (22.0 cm). In general, GSI in females group were higher than that found in males group. For the fecundity, the highest means values were recorded in April (244344 ± 104158) and in October (222794 ± 73720). Nevertheless, the lowest fecundity values were recorded in February (4699 ± 6356) and in September (15504 ± 20055).
