On the fecundity of the Black Sea bream, Spondyliosoma cantharus (L. ), from the Adriatic Sea (Croatian coast)
J. Dulcvic, N. Skakelja, M. Kraljevic and P. Cetinic

The fecundity of the Black Sea bream from the eastern middle Adriatic (Croatian coast) was assessed by the volumetric method using 59 ovaries in pre-spawning stage from fish between 18.5 and 33.5 cm total length. Estimates of total potential annual fecundity varied between 31,670 and 554,070 eggs per female. Relationships between total potential fecundity and total length (TL), total weight (TW) and age (A) were established using the multiplicative regression model. Relative fecundity is constant, reaching a maximum of 850 eggs per g in the 30.5 cm to 31.0 cm length class.
