Anatomical and cytotogical modifications of the ovary of Solea vulgaris Quensel from the northern Adriatic Sea were studied over a one-year period. Seven stages of ovarian development were observed. The gonadosomatic index increased rapidly during the reproductive season from December to March, when the majority of oocyte growth (>20010-6m in diameter) occurred. Hydrated oocytes immediately before spawning reach 136010-6m. During spring, summer and autumn (from April to November) previtellogenic oocytes (<20010-6m) occurred.

Abstract
Anatomical and cytotogical modifications of the ovary of Solea vulgaris Quensel from the northern Adriatic Sea were studied over a one-year period. Seven stages of ovarian development were observed. The gonadosomatic index increased rapidly during the reproductive season from December to March, when the majority of oocyte growth (>20010-6m in diameter) occurred. Hydrated oocytes immediately before spawning reach 136010-6m. During spring, summer and autumn (from April to November) previtellogenic oocytes (<20010-6m) occurred.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
