摘要: From April 1999 through August 2001 Etheostoma blennioides was collected from the Hocking River in south-central Ohio. Ovaries of adult females were classified by developmental stage and appropriate-stage ovaries used to analyze clutch size, egg size gonadosomatic index (GSI). Overall means for reproductive traits similar previously published estimates. No showed differences among years, though all significant across breeding season. Clutch largest middle season, while GSI each declined These patterns those seen a comparable study E. zonale same stream.
