“…In the presently reported study the sex ratio differs significantly from 1 : 1 during most months. However, males of S. lysan were more numerous than females during the spawning period and such preponderance could be due to migration of females to relatively deeper waters for spawning, or behavioural differences between the two sexes (Blaxter and Hunter 1982).…”

“…Moreover, it is also possible to identify factors that influence recruitment variability (Borja et al, 1998(Borja et al, , 2002. Predation, food availability (Blaxter and Hunter, 1982;Leggett and Deblois, 1994) and environmental parameters have been pointed out as the main factors influencing ichthyoplankton dynamics. Among environmental parameters, temperature (e.g.…”

The species composition, abundance and distribution of the ichthyoplankton of the Guadiana estuary and adjacent coastal area were studied in relation to several environmental parameters. Sampling occurred during new moon Spring tides, at the ebb and flood, at nine stations, from March 2002 to February 2003. Temperature, salinity, dissolved inorganic macronutrients, seston and organic matter and chlorophyll a were determined at each station. A total of 22 and 34 fish eggs and larvae taxa were identified, respectively. The highest abundances were registered in the lower and middle part of the estuary, probably due to the presence of species that use the estuary as a preferential spawning ground, mainly Pomatoschistus spp. and Engraulis encrasicolus sensu lato. Temporal patterns of occurrence of ichthyoplankton allowed each species' spawning season to be determined. Two taxa dominated the ichthyoplanktonic community during spring and summer (Pomatoschistus spp. and E. encrasicolus), whereas Sardina pilchardus was particularly abundant during autumn and winter. The forcing variables responsible for community structure were chlorophyll a and seston for eggs, while temperature, salinity and nitrite explained the larval component. Comparisons of the results with previous ichthyoplankton studies of the Guadiana estuary conducted before the Alqueva dam was built also indicate that river flow has an important impact on the distribution and abundance of ichthyoplankton in the estuary.

“…Sex ratio 8. Monthly sex ratios (usually presented as females to males, F : M) are necessary if a specific hypothesis is tested (e.g., females disappearing from catches during their spawning period: Blaxter and Hunter 1982). If included, they should be given preferably in a figure or as online supplementary material (rather than in a Table).…”

Fish reproductive biology (onset and duration of spawning, sex ratio, maturity stages, length and age at maturity, and fecundity) is important in fisheries research, stock assessment, and management. In this editorial note, we provide some criteria and recommendations on issues of fish reproductive biology, which may be useful in research planning, data analysis and presentation, as well as in manuscript preparation.ACTA ICHTHYOLOGICA ET PISCATORIA (2013) 43 (1): 1-5
