Atlas of the maturity stages of Mediterranean fishery resources

Abstract

This atlas aims to present sound approaches to maturity sampling for a wide range of Mediterranean species � including bony fish, cartilaginous fish, both oviparous and viviparous, crustaceans and cephalopods � based on an accurate determination of the different maturity stages. It includes macroscopic photos of gonads belonging to the main species and, for some, a validation-based histological analysis.
