Fig. 5. Reproductive seasonality of hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus) from the eastern Gulf of Mexico and south Florida. The monthly percentage occurrence of mature females with (A) hydrated oocytes, and (B) post-ovulatory follicles are plotted (curves are fitted using a cubic polynomial linear model for graphical purpose only). Average monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI ± 95% confidence limits) for (C) mature females, and (D) mature males are also shown.
