Alburnus albidus is an endangered and little known cyprinid fish species endemic m southern Italy. Histological characteristics of testes and plasma steroids levels of A albidus from River Alento, Campania Region, were analysed every month berween January-July 1996 Depending on the relative abundance of spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatides and spermatozoa in the testes and the sex steroids levels in plasma, we defined the gonadal cycle of A. albidus
