abstract:
Weight/diameter, weight/height and height/diameter morphometric relationships were calculated for a shallow rockyParacentrotus lividuspopulation 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.
