Abstract
The sexual maturation of female capelin in the Barents Sea is studied
using a new method based on microscope investigation of eggs. A
"length at maturity" (L) is defined, and a method for synthesizing the
data is developed. The value of L is found to vary considerably
between age groups, between areas, and from one year to the next. Some
consequences %or the TAC calculating procedure are discussed.
