advanced oocytes had declined to about 60% of<br />

oocyte stock observed in October 1986, and was<br />

only weakly correlated with female weight:<br />

Y* = 0.17, (figure 6, lower). Statistical documentation<br />

for this seasonal decline in oocyte standing<br />

stock is provided by multiple regression of fecundity<br />

on elapsed time and female weight:<br />
