Barbus barbus There seems to be a two-month quiescent period (July-August) 3.0 Lobon-Cervia and Fernandez-Delgado, 1984
Barbus barbus Following early spring spawning oocytes in the stage of primary growth are in majority in the ovary. Mitotically dividing oogonia, non-ovulated oocytes and eggs that were not released during spawning are also present in the ovaries. The latter two groups of cells undergo the process of resorption. Continuous atresia is also in process in the ovary that affects primarily the least developed functioning oocytes during the post-spawning period, i.e., those in the stage of primary growth. In all probability their number will further decrease immediatly after the spawning season 4.0 Lefler et al, 2008

Tinca tinca Period of restoration (August) and rest (since September till the end of April) lasted in tench from Lake Drweckie for 9 months. In this period all ovaries were in stage VI/II-III or VI/III, and then in stage III of maturity. Oocyte resorption was observed throughout the year. it was most intensive during fish production, especially in 1979 when water temperature showed considerable variations. 9.0 Pimpicka, 1989

Tinca tinca After spawning ovaries are in second stage. In that state they are the smallest during the yearly sexual cycle, are bloodshot, and remaining (non-spawned) oocytes are being resorbed. That state lasts 1 month. Later (from Ocotber until the beginning of April) ovaries are in the third stage of maturity. During that time growth of oocytes occurs. At the end of April/beginning of May ovaries are in the fourth maturity stage. Oocytes are being filled with yolk. At that time asynchronous development of oocytes occurs, which is typical for tench. During the next, five th maturity stage asynchrony becomes more deep. The size of ovaries reaches maximum. Four groups of different developmental advancement co-occur in the ovaries. The most mature oocytes continue yolk accumulation, the second group is at the final steps of vacuolisation, oocytes of the third group (=the last group that is going to be spawned during the spawning season) begin vacuolisation. The fourth group, which is the leats developped, will be spawned the next year. The VI-th maturity stage is ovulation (liberation of oocytes from the Graff follicles). Before ovulation nucleus moves from the centre to periphery of oocytes. 1.0 Kubu and Kouril, 1985
