A, I believe. I didn't cheat and look it up on the internet, either, so I might be wrong.

I sell dead fish so I don't care that a gravid fish is one that is full of eggs. Unless it is a Caspian Sturgeon and then we're talking some serious cake ! LOL How about a definition of fecundity ? Does a female cod fish have a high fecundity or a low fecundity ? If a man is at sea and a woman is not aboard to hear him speak is he still wrong ? Who is the voice of Shaggy on Scooby Doo ?

 

[JackRent]

This is fun ! In what year did the British nNavy suspend a daily ration of rum to the crew ?

 

[spotfin]

Fecundity: # of eggs ready for spawning. Female cod have high fecundity. Not sure about the voice of Shaggy. And yes, the man is still wrong. Doesn't matter where he is.
As for the rum, I would guess sometime in the early 1900s.

 

[HIDDENREEF]

Correct for everyone!
A) The term gravid refers to a female fish that has ovaries full with well developed eggs and is in a prespawning condition.

Nice question Jack.....any free examples of the Caspian Sturgeon How much do they go for anyways?
