Fecundity of the American Plaice, Hippoglossoides platessoides (Fabr.) from Grand Bank and Newfoundland Areas
Fecundity estimates were made on a total of 140 mature American plaice from the southern and northern slopes of the Grand Bank and from St. Mary's Bay. Log–log relationships were established between fecundity and fish length, gutted and gilled weight, age, and ovary weight. No differences were...
