Page Content
The purpose of this workshop is to:
- Inter-calibrate egg production methods (Annual and Daily Egg Production Methods), including historical re-evaluation of histological samples for maturity, fecundity, batch fecundity, estimation and atresia and post-ovulatory follicle classification.
- Compare egg production indices based on harmonized maturity, fecundity, atresia and POF estimates with currently used egg production estimates.
- Review existing, previously utilized and newly developed methods and calculations for realised fecundity estimation as well as batch fecundity and spawning fraction estimation, and document changes in procedures and their consequences in a protocol to be stored on the WGMEGS GitHub.
- Review available documentation on adult parameters estimation, both textual and figures, to redefine the standard protocols and update the survey manual.
