Stagei-specific oocyte packing density (OPDi). Mean values of OPDi as a function of ovarian development phase (determined by the most advanced oocyte (MAO) present in the ovary) in hake from the Galician shelf from December 2011 to November 2012. The OPDi values are plotted for the following oocyte stages: (A) Previtellogenic 1–3: PVO1, PVO2 and PVO3; (B) Previtellogenic 4a-c and presence of blood vessels: PVO4a, PVO4b, PVO4c and “blood”; (C) Cortical alveoli (CAO), early vitellogenic (EVTO), medium-late vitellogenic oocyte (VTO) and migratory nucleus oocytes. Note that the y-axis scale changes across panels.
