Paralichthys patagonicus spawning areas and reproductive potential in the Bonaerense Coastal Zone, Argentina (34°-42°S)

The reproductive biology of Patagonian flounder (Paralichthys patagonicus) was studied in the Bonaerense Coastal Zone (34°-42°S) using samples collected in December 2003 and 2005. According to the literature, the data were analyzed considering two population groups: one in the northern zone (34°-38°...
