Abstract

Se realiza un estudio detallado del ciclo reproductivo de la merluza europea (Merluccius merluccius) en aguas de Galicia. Además se analiza el mecanismo de la atresia y los aspectos bioenergéticos relacionados con la reproducción de esta especie, así como la influencia de la condición fisiológica de la hembra y los atributos maternos en el potencial reproductivo de la merluza This thesis is a study of reproductive cycle of European hake (Merluccius merluccius) in Galician Waters. Besides, atresisa mechanism is analyzed as well as bioenergetic aspects related to reproduction of this specie. On the other hand, influence of female condition, proximate composition and maternal attributes on reproductive potential of hake is also studied.
