Maturation, fecundity and reproductive cycle of spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, in the Adriatic Sea

We provide the first detailed information on the reproductive traits of the endangered spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) in the Adriatic Sea, based upon 224 specimens (132 females and 92 males) collected onboard of commercial bottom trawls between 2005 and 2007. The morphometry of gonads, gonadosomatic index and histological examination of gonads were used to analyse maturation and gonadal development of the species. The length at 50% maturity was attained at 504 mm for males and 725 mm for females. Ovarian fecundity ranged from 4 to 18 follicles (mean ± SD: 10.8 ± 4.5) and uterine fecundity ranged from 6 to 18 embryos (mean ± SD: 10.1 ± 3.9). Total length of embryos with absorbed yolk sacs ranged between 200 and 215 mm. The gonadosomatic index and the high proportion of mature spermatocysts in the testes suggests that a majority of mating activity occurs in June, November and December, while the seasonal distribution of the largest ova and full term embryos indicate that ovulation and parturition occur during the summer. In comparison with other study areas, spiny dogfish in the Adriatic Sea attained sexual maturity at smaller sizes and obtained higher fecundity values than fish from other regions.
