Oocyte growth and development in the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, were examined during the period of rapid ovarian recrudescence that precedes spawning in coastal waters of northeast Florida. Based on the de novo appearance of yolk proteins detected by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the oocyte si2e corresponding to the onset of vitellogenic growth was determined to be 0.18 mm (diameter)...
