Abstract
The fecundity of Clyde witches was estimated from 1958 to 1962, and has been found to vary from over 49,000 eggs for a 26·8 cm fish to more than 599,000 in a 42 cm witch. Annual variations in the fecundity were found but there are not sufficient data to relate the changes to the population density as can be done with plaice. It appears that Clyde witches may grow faster, and they certainly attain a larger size than those in the Irish sea.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
