The daily egg production method: recent advances, current applications and future challenges
More than 120 surveys over 25 years suggest that appropriate use of the daily egg
production method (DEPM) provides unbiased but rather imprecise estimates of spawning …

Energy acquisition and allocation to egg production in relation to fish reproductive strategies
RS McBride, S Somarakis, GR Fitzhugh… - Fish and …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

Review of size-and age-dependence in batch spawning: implications for stock assessment of fish species exhibiting indeterminate fecundity
GR Fitzhugh, KW Shertzer, GT Kellison, DM Wyanski - 2012 - aquadocs.org
Most assessments of fish stocks use some measure of the reproductive potential of a
population, such as spawning biomass. However, the correlation between spawning …

Body reserves mediate trade-offs between life-history traits: new insights from small pelagic fish reproduction
Limited resources in the environment prevent individuals from simultaneously maximizing all
life-history traits, resulting in trade-offs. In particular, the cost of reproduction is well known to …

Age-specific survivorship and fecundity shape genetic diversity in marine fishes
Genetic diversity varies among species due to a range of eco-evolutionary processes that
are not fully understood. The neutral theory predicts that the amount of variation in the …
