Between May 1998 and April 2000, specimens collected at three different locations in the NE Atlantic\u2014NW of Scotland, Sesimbra (mainland Portugal) and Funchal (Madeira)\u2014were analysed. The evolution of maturity of both sexes throughout the year was studied based on the macroscopic and microscopic analysis of the gonads. Specimens with the largest total length were found in Funchal, whereas the smallest size was recorded in the NW of Scotland. Neither spawners nor post-spawners were ever observed in NW of Scotland and Sesimbra. In Sesimbra, only a few individuals attained pre-spawning stage and most of the early developing females exhibited atresia in their ovaries. In Funchal, all the maturity stages were found; spawners occurred from September to December (females) and from August to December (males). Length of first maturity for females was estimated to be around 1000 mm. Two groups of spawners with different sizes were observed during the spawning period off Madeira.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1016\/s1054-3139(03)00064-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,7,7]],"date-time":"2003-07-07T13:48:27Z","timestamp":1057585707000},"page":"774-779","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["Observations on the reproductive cycle of the black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo Lowe, 1839) in the NE Atlantic"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"I","family":"Figueiredo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o das Pescas e do Mar (IPIMAR)-INIAP Avenida de Bras\u00edlia 1449-006, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"P","family":"Bordalo-Machado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o das Pescas e do Mar (IPIMAR)-INIAP Avenida de Bras\u00edlia 1449-006, Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Reis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Direc\u00e7\u00e3o Regional das Pescas Est. da Pontinha 9000-017, Funchal, Portugal"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Sena-Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Direc\u00e7\u00e3o Regional das Pescas Est. da Pontinha 9000-017, Funchal, Portugal"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Blasdale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Laboratory Victoria Road, Torry, Aberdeen, UK"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Newton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine Laboratory Victoria Road, Torry, Aberdeen, UK"}]},{"given":"L.S","family":"Gordo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Zoologia e Antropologia, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias de Lisboa Bloco C2, Campo Grande 1749-016, Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2019081209472371600_b1","article-title":"INIP\u2014Programa de apoio \u00e0s pescas na Madeira\u2013III (in Portuguese)","author":"Anon","year":"1984"},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b2","article-title":"Final report of the EU study project CT 97\/0084 Environment and biology of deep-water species Aphanopus carbo in NE Atlantic: basis for its management (BASBLACK)","author":"Anon","year":"2000"},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b3","article-title":"Relat\u00f3rio final do estudo efectuado sobre o Peixe-Espada Preto (Aphanopus carbo, Lowe, 1839) capturado na ZEE da Madeira (in Portuguese)","author":"Carvalho","year":"1988"},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b4","article-title":"Establishing a sampling programme for monitoring changes in the length distribution of the black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo Lowe, 1839) in the Northern Atlantic Ocean","author":"Carvalho","year":"2001"},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b5","first-page":"635","article-title":"Vertical distribution and other aspects of the ecology of certain mesopelagic fishes taken near Hawaii","volume":"74","author":"Clarke","year":"1976","journal-title":"Fishery Bulletin, U.S."},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b6","first-page":"105","article-title":"On the occurrence of some fish species at the slopes of the Rockall Trough","volume":"33","author":"Ehrich","year":"1983","journal-title":"Archiv f\u00fcr Fischereiwissenschaft"},{"key":"2019081209472371600_b7","first-page":"29","article-title":"L'exploitation commerciale des poisons de grande profounder dans l'Atlantique Nord","volume":"8","author":"Geistdoerfer","year":"1982","journal-title":"Oceanis (Doc.
