... of broad whitefish collected from the Travaillant River increased linearly with body size (r 2 =0.65, p<0.001) ranging from 13 384 to 55 576 with a mean fecundity of 27 846 eggs per female (n=15, S.D. = 11,786) ( Fig. 9). Tallman et al. (2002) reported a similar range in the fecundity of Travaillant Lake broad whitefish of between 13 823 and 51 333 eggs per female (n=25). Previous studies on anadromous or semi- anadromous stocks of broad whitefish have shown higher fecundities than those estimated for Travaillant Lake fish. For example, Van ...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the dynamics of changes in body weight, length, and condition, as well as to determine and compare the age structure, length increments, and fecundity of vendace from four lakes in the Wielkopolska region. The smallest mean total length (21.1 cm) and body weight (82.59 g) were recorded for specimens from Lake Lu...
