Overripening of eggs and changes in reproductive hormones in the threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus

Background: Female threespine sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus, are batch spawners. As in most teleosts, the ovulated eggs are kept in the ovarian cavity until spawning. If spawning or spontane ...
