Micropogonias furnieri is one of the most important fishery resources in Southeastern Brazil. However, the Brazilian law for exploitation of this resource is incipient. Our main aim was to assess whether reproductive tactics developed by Ubatuba populations are consistent with the available information and to evaluate their suitability to support measures of protection. A total of 359 individuals were examined, with unbalanced sex ration (1 female:1.56 male). Negative alometry (b<3) was found for both sexes. Spawning occurs during most of the year. Size at first maturation (L50 = 341 mm; 329 mm TL; for females and males, respectively), was higher than previous information for the region, and higher than the minimum size of allowed capture established by the law (TL = 25 cm). We recommend consider this new size at first maturity as the minimum allowed capture size as a measure to help protect this fishery resource in Southeastern Brazil.
