•   The present investigation was carried out to quantify the lipid reserves for total lipid content in different body tissues of pomfret fishes. Energy allotment of lipid reserves into muscle, gonad and liver were analyzed for the first attempt for different gonad maturation stages of pomfrets. Results showed that lipid content in the female gonad varied between from Sakhri-Natye 5.64±0.74, Mirkarwada 5.64±0.10 followed by Harnai 5.56±0.24 from within PFZ as compared to male gonad in Pampus argenteus fish during November-December. Whereas in March-April from within PFZ in female gonad from Sakhri-Natye 6.86±0.61, for Mirkarwada 6.37±0.14 and Harnai 6.21±0.37 as compared to outside PFZ as well as male gonad variations and revealed gonad is the major energy storage site in pomfret fishes. During late post-spawning and early pre-spawning season from within and outside PFZ showed slight variations throughout the study.A trend for male and female pomfrets emphasize that the lipid stored in the liver during the maturing stage as mobilized towards the gonad during late post-spawning and early pre-spawning for gonad development, gamete production and other reproductive purposes. The results gained from the present study provide information on nutritional status of different stages, reproductive potential of pomfrets fishes.
