Summary Breading season, sexual rate, fecundity and minimum size for reproduction was studied in Basilichthys australis Eigenmann 1927. Monthly samples were collected with a gill net from a river of the central part of Chile. It was found that the spawning period lasts from August to November, the smaller mature female had 176 mm T.L. Some changes in the sexual rate suggest a migration to the sea during summer time; the relative fecundity kept a relation of F = 0.0001 L327. However, according to the diameter of the eggs these would only have a viability of 32%. Resumen En base a muestras mensuales de pejerrey de rio (Basilichthys australis), recolectados en el rio Maipo, se ha determinado su época de desove, relatión de sexos y su fecundidad relativa. Encontrandose que la mayor parte de esta población desova entre Agosto y Noviembre, que la talla minima de desove es de 176 mm. y que la fecundidad relativa sigue una relación F = 0.0001 L3 27, sin embargo los huevos viables sólo corresponden al 32%. La existencia de una posible migración al mar en verano de esta especie, relacionada con cambios en la relación de sexos y el aumento de la turbiedad en el rio es discutida.
