Maternal Influences on Variation in Egg Sizes in Temperate Marine Fishes

SYNOPSIS. We examine the variation in egg sizes of marine teleosts and evaluate the maternal contribution to this variability. At the species level, egg sizes in 309 North Atlantic fishes range from 0.3 to 18.0 mm diameter (median = 1.1), size at hatching varies directly with egg size, and large adu...
