Abstract :Spawning time, total fecundity, fertilization, and hatching rates of turbot insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Psetta maxima); were investigated in 10 wild female broodstock insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(mean wt: 3809.7 ± 1238.4 g);. Spawning lasted 37 days, from April 17 to May 23. Mean total fecundity was 2329 ± 1260 x 103 eggs per female. Fertilization and hatching rates were 30.6 ± 25.4% and 17.9 ± 16.1%, respectively. A significant positive correlation was observed between body weight and total fecundity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(r = 0.637, P < 0.05);. The timing and frequency of hand stripping, fecundity, fertilization, and hatching rates in turbot are presented.
