Variability in egg production of cod (Gadus morhua callarias L.) in the Central Baltic Sea
Recent findings indicate that stock size or stock biomass of expoited marine fish species does not reflect the true reproductive potential of a population. An explanation could be that the proportionality assumption between stock size and viable egg production inherent with many stock recruitment re...
