  abstract = {{T}his study aims to determine whether {B}amboung {M}arine {P}rotected {A}rea ({BMPA}) in the {S}aloum {D}elta, {S}enegal, had any effect on reproductive traits of the rough-head sea catfish, {A}rius latiscutatus ({G}ünther, 1864). {T}he monthly variations in condition factor were similar inside and outside the {BMPA}. {T}he lowest values of {K} were 0.75 in both sites and the highest were 0.84 and 0.87 respectively inside and outside the {BMPA}. {T}he reproductive period mainly occurred from {M}arch and {J}uly in both sites. {T}he total length at first maturity depended on the sex and the site: 400 mm for females and 448 mm for males inside the {BMPA} and 419 mm for females and 375 mm for males outside. {I}nside the {BMPA}, the absolute fecundity was 29 ± 14 eggs, whereas outside, the absolute fecundity was 22 ± 10 eggs. {T}he {BMPA} would appear to be the preferred spawning area for {A}. latiscutatus with a higher reproductive activity and higher fecundity. {T}his study provides an essential knowledge base for defining fishery management plans or updating current conservation measures.},
