Title: The reproductive biology of the dab <i>Limanda limanda</i> (L.) in the North Sea: gonosomatic index, hepatosomatic index and condition factor

There is a direct correlation between HSI and K , and an inverse correlation of these factors to GSI but with a three month lag. It was also found that the lower (‘ventral’) ovaries were invariably heavier than the upper (‘dorsal’) ovaries at all times, and a similar relationship was found in testes prior to and during the spawning season.Read More
