Some Aspects of the Thorny Skate (Raja radiata Donovan, 1808) Reproductive Biology in NAFO Division 3N Regulatory Area
Thorny skate samples from August to December 2000 were examined to determine both sexes maturity stages, length at maturity and females potential fecundity. The size and number of the ovarian oocytes increase as the maturation progress. In fully mature ovaries the average number of developed eggs is...
