The reproductive cycle of Ophichthus rufus (Pisces: Anguilliformes) in the NW Mediterranean

The reproductive biology of the Mediterranean Snake cel, Ophichthus Rufus (Ophichthidae), was studied on the basis of microscopic and macroscopic analysis. Results show that O.rufus is an oviparous species with a group synchronous ovary type. The maturation process of the gonads starts in December a...
