Abstract
Relationships between fecundity (thousands) and total length (cm), F = 1.155 x 10-7 x L4.598 and fecundity (thousands) and round weight (g) (F = 2.539 x 10-4 x W1.439) were established for Greenland halibut in the Northeast Atlantic, based on a total of 95 ovaries collected near the Bear Island in the Barents Sea, in September 1996. The potential fecundity ranged from 6 800 to 70 500 eggs per female. The Greenland halibut were in the total length range 48-80 cm. The Greenland halibut were maturing with ovaries containing vitellogenic oocyte sized about 2-4 mm in diameter, visual to the naked eye.
