These fish were thawed and fork length (FL, ± 1mm), total weight (± 1g), sex, gonad stage and weight (± 0.1g) were recorded. During 2004 and 2005, length and gonad stage were recorded from a further random sample of around 30 females from every shot. The gonads from these fish were removed and preserved in FAACC (10% formalin, 5% glacial acetic acid and 1.3% calcium chloride). During 2006, a random sample of at least 30 mature females was collected from each shot and preserved whole in FAACC (with a slit from vent to ventral cradle to assist preservation). Additional females with hydrated oocytes were also preserved in FAACC but these fish were kept separate from the random samples and used to supplement samples used for fecundity estimation.

Full description

Adult reproductive data for redbait is based on collections taken by midwater trawling during the spawning season and includes the biological information - size, sex, reproductive condition (weight and stage).

Histological examination of mature ovaries provides information on spawing activity and preserved gonads are examined to determine batch fecundity.
