Gobio gobio Female Oocyte development Develops oocyes asynchronously Asynchronous
Gobio gobio Female Onset of oogenesis In October, all fishes were at the same stage of development and only contained stage 1 and 2 ooctyes. Stage 3, reached in November, continued until April as the most advanced stage. ['April', 'October', 'November']
Gobio gobio Female Intensifying oogenesis activity Enlargement of ooctyes by accumulation of yolk globules caused a marked increase in GSI in May ['May']
Gobio gobio Female Maximum GSI value 13.5 [End of May in the control group] 13.5 percent
Gobio gobio Female Resting period From July, the ovary started a recovery phase and only contained stage 1 and 2 ooctyes. One ot two months of quiscence following summer spawning 1.0 months
