The reproductive features of O. edulis were investigated collecting monthly samples from a breeding population in the Mar Grande of Taranto (Northern Ionian Sea). A total of 240 gonads were observed. Macroscopic observations were compared with histological preparations. Mature eggs and sperms were observed throughout the year. Spawning and incubation of larvae occur during spring and summer with a lowering during July and August, when the highest temperatures were recorded into the sea.

Abstract
The reproductive features of O. edulis were investigated collecting monthly samples from a breeding population in the Mar Grande of Taranto (Northern Ionian Sea). A total of 240 gonads were observed. Macroscopic observations were compared with histological preparations. Mature eggs and sperms were observed throughout the year. Spawning and incubation of larvae occur during spring and summer with a lowering during July and August, when the highest temperatures were recorded into the sea.File in questo prodotto:
