Energy acquisition and allocation to egg production in relation to fish reproductive strategies (2014, methodology): “…strategies will benefit by applying the most appropriate method – at the most appropriate spatial and temporal scale for the target species – for measuring the dynamics of fecundity and relating this to the dynamics of the specific ecosystem (Koops et al. 2004; Morrongiello et al. 2012).”
Temporal and geographic variability of sardine maturity at length in the northeastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean (2006, background): “Therefore, fish weight and fat reserves in summer are a reliable index of the energy made available for reproduction in the current spawning season (Koops et al., 2004), and possibly also for the spawning season of the following year (Hunter and Leong, 1981).”
Comparison of various potential fecundity models for north-east Arctic cod Gadus morhua, L. using oocyte diameter as a standardizing factor (2006, methodology): “For the FP models, total length (LT) was used as the key independent predictor even though prespawning M in some situations may show a better correlation (Kjesbu et al., 1998; McIntyre & Hutchings, 2003; Koops et al., 2004).”
