Abstract: 
Overexploitation of fish resources causes the scarcity or even extinction of certain species. Fish farming appears to be the solution. The objective of our work was to understand the morphological differentiation of the ovary in Pseudotolithus typus in order to control its reproduction. The sex and stage of sexual maturity of the fish were determined after dissection. The present work showed that the ovary of Pseudotolithus typus is formed of 2 lobes and presented 6 stages of sexual maturity.
