From this study, "the observed fecundity of Icelandic Spring-Spawning (ISS) herring near spawning time is a function of total length, or weight, and to a very limited extent body condition, and it is unlikely to be reduced by atresia. Therefore, the length structure of the spawning population and to a lesser extent its average body condition just prior to spawning appear to be the primary determinants of total egg production for the stock" (Ref. 87980). |
