Resumen

La madurez es uno de los parámetros biológicos más relevantes utilizados en los programas de evaluación de stock. De hecho, la etapa macroscópica del desarrollo gonadal es una característica esencial en la estimación de la madurez de la biomasa de la ojiva y del desove. También es útil para determinar la temporada de desove de una especie y para monitorear los cambios a largo plazo en el ciclo de desove, así como para muchas otras necesidades de investigación relacionadas con la biología de los peces. A pesar de los esfuerzos realizados durante las últimas décadas para estandarizar los datos de las etapas de madurez entre todos los investigadores, los biólogos marinos continúan sin una escala de madurez única y manejable para describir el desarrollo reproductivo de las gónadas de peces. Por estas razones, el objetivo de este artículo es 1) investigar los parámetros biológicos de 5 especies clave seleccionadas (Mullus barbatus, Galeus melastomus, Etmopterus spinax, Aristeus antennatus, Loligo vulgaris) con diferentes estrategias reproductivas siguiendo las escalas de madurez macroscópica basadas en criterios iguales y unívocos adoptados en el programa MEDITS y descritos en este trabajo y 2) para compararlos entre algunas sub-áreas geográficas del Mediterráneo (GSAs) involucradas en el programa. Tanto los períodos de desove como el tamaño en la primera madurez (SFM₅₀) para las especies estudiadas no han mostrado diferencias particulares en las GSA investigadas.
