Understanding Jewish History by Steven Bayme
This atlas aims to present sound approaches to maturity sampling for a wide range of Mediterranean species - including bony fish, cartilaginous fish, both oviparous and viviparous, crustaceans and cephalopods - based on an accurate determination of the different maturity stages. It includes macroscopic photos of gonads belonging to the main species and, for some, a validation-based histological analysis.
