Mexico, was examined Pearl oysters were collected at monthly intervals from June 1902 through August 1993. The gonadal development was analyzed by histological techniques and analysis of oocyte size. Spawning took place throughout the year, but at a lower rate in winter A relationship between spawning and temperature was not observed The sex ratio was equal.
