Human fetal hand size and hand maturity in the first half of the prenatal period

Early Human Development, 1998
The purpose of the present study has been to establish radiographic standards of hand length and finger bone size in the first half of the prenatal period, and to relate these measurements to general fetal size (CRL) and foot length (FL), as well as to the skeletal maturity assessed from a Composite Number of Ossified bones in hand and foot radiographs

Direct and maternal genetic effects on first litter size, maturation age, and animal size in Finnish minks

Journal of Animal Science, 2009
Variance components were estimated for maturing age, first litter size, and animal size in Finnish minks. The fitted animal models had direct genetic and maternal genetic effects, litter effects, and maternal environmental effects. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine covariances between the traits.

Estimation of size at first maturity in two South African coral species

African Journal of Marine Science, 2014
The corals Acropora austera and Platygyra daedalea have been the subject of extensive reproductive and population genetic studies in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park (iSimangaliso), on the KwaZulu-Natal coast, eastern South Africa. Despite this, estimates of size at first maturity in these two species are lacking. This information could be used to provide

Effects of Dietary Protein Levels on Gonad Maturation, Size and Age at First Maturity, Fecundity and Growth of Nile Tilapia

Aquaculture International, 1999
Six-week-old Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry with an average weight (SD) of 0.51(0.2) g were reared for 140 days on five formulated, isocaloric diets of different protein levels (25, 30, 40 and 45% by dry weight). Fish fed diets of higher protein levels (40 and 45%) showed better growth and feed conversion ratio than those on lower protein ...

Report on historical reproductive pattern : Size and age at first maturity and reproductive period

2018
Long term trends in the variation of reproduction parameters can be indicative of a change in the life-history traits of the species and could have consequences for survival (i.e. natural mortality) and condition, and ultimately affect recruitment success and population growth and persistence.

Size at first maturity of Brachidontes rodriguezii (d'Orbigny, 1846) from the South-western Atlantic Ocean

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2016
The size at first maturity of the bivalve Brachidontes rodriguezii was estimated in a population located in the northernmost limit of its distribution along Argentinean coast. Specimens were collected in two consecutive reproductive seasons from December 2011 to February 2012 and from December 2012 to February 2013.

Statistical method of estimating the size at first maturity in fishes [PDF]

open access: possibleICLARM Fishbyte, 1986
The reproductive process in all animals commences once they attain maturity at a particular size, which depends upon environmental and ecological factors and the biological features of the animal. The size at maturity is subject to variation between species and within species.

Size at first maturity on the mussel Mytilus platensis d'Orbigny, 1842 at the Southwest Atlantic

Canadian Journal of Zoology
The size at first maturity of the bivalve Mytilus platensis d'Orbigny, 1842 was estimated in the intertidal population of Villa Gesell (37°15′S; 56°57′W), Buenos Aires, Argentina. We hypothesize a variation in population maturity associated with shell length (SL) and differences between females and males.
