Reproductive biology of Sepietta oweniana (Pfeffer, 1908) (Sepiolidae: Cephalopoda) in the Aegean Sea

It is stated that S. oweniana, one of the well-known taxa of the family Sepiolidae, has a wide distribution throughout the Aegean Sea. In this study 805 specimens were collected, and the gonad stages of both sexes and the seasonal gonado-somatic index value were examined. It was observed that the sp...
