Abstract
Fecundity of Atlantic cod from the Newfoundland and Labrador area was investigated in relation to fish length, weight, and age. Variations in fecundity were best explained in terms of size, either length or weight. The fecundity–length relationship was adequately described by the simple allometry formula; fecundity–weight by an arithmetic straight line. Differences in fecundity from north to south are described and discussed in relation to descriptions from other areas. Substantial differences in fecundity of western and eastern Atlantic cod are noted.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
