Relationship between number of oocytes and European hake size. (A) Sum total of PVO4b, cortical alveoli and vitellogenic (early and medium-late) oocytes (NOPVO4b-VTO) regressed against total length; (B) Sum of PVO oocytes in stages 1, 2 and 3 (NOPVO1-3) regressed against total length. Females were grouped into 1-cm length classes and assigned to one of the three spawning seasons: SS1, SS2 and SS3. Solid line is regression line and dashed lines 95% confidence band.
