Egg dimensions were 2.0-2.2 x 1.5-1.
6 mm.Potential fecundity (all oocyte stock) of mature female L.vulgaris was estimated as 28,500-74,200 oocytes, including 3,500-30,500 yolk oocytes, 1,300-8,000 stomahesive protective powder - 1 oz squeeze bottle (3) of those were ripe eggs in the oviduct.Relative fecundity was 114-251 (mean 211.
3, fruitia pink burst SD=48.7), the index of Potential Reproductive Investment was 0.29-0.71 (mean 0.
566, SD=0.151).Ovary maturation was similar to that observed in other loliginid squid, when small protoplasmic oocytes predominate throughout the life cycle.
