* Sample sizes low compared to other studies (N>100).

Δ Ratio calculated on numbers from different studies but from same region.

○ Uterine fecundity is higher than ovarian fecundity.

Maximum number of fetuses over maximum number of ripe ova, i.e. UO_max-ratio (expressed as %). This ratio reflects the species’ maximum capacity uterine fecundity (U) based on ovarian observations (O).
