Fecundity of the deep-sea fish in the north-east atlantic Alepocephalus bairdii (Pisces: Alepocephalidae)
Alepocephalus bairdii is a deep sea fish caught but discarded by semi-industrial fisheries from the north-east Atlantic Ocean. Reproductive features were investigated on 448 females of 29–93 cm standard length (SL) captured over 2 y (December 1995–December 1997) at 800–1280 m off the west coast of t...
