Fecundity and spawning of Abralia verany (Rüppell, 1844) (Cephalopoda: Enoploteuthidae) in the Aegean Sea
A total of 24 female Abralia verany specimens, with a mantle length between 26-47 mm, were investigated. The mean potential fecundity (PF) and mean relative fecundity (RF) of ovaries were calculated as 26584 eggs and 4379 eggs g-1, respectively. The mean egg number determined in the oviduct was 251....
