Fecundity of Witch Flounder ( Glyptocephalus cynoglossus) from St. Pierre Bank and the Grand Bank of Newfoundland
The fecundity of witch flounder from the Grand Bank and St. Pierre Bank was correlated to length, age and weight. In all cases a log–log fit best described the relationship between fecundity and all three variables. However, variations in fecundity were best described in terms of size rather than ag...
