abstract:
Weight/diameter, weight/height and height/diameter morphometric relationships were calculated
for a shallow rocky Paracentrotus lividus population sampled monthly near Alghero (Italy) from
November 2004 to October 2005. Gonad index (GI) of the sea urchins was also evaluated. Statistical
analyses showed significant differences of GI between 2 distinct periods of the year: late fall-winter and
spring-late summer.
