Abstract

A single maturity classification key applied to five common chaetognath species of the eastern Mediterranean is presented. The efficiency of the key was tested using biometrical data: body length (BL), ovary length (OL) and seminal vesicle width (SVW). For each species the key proved easy to use and efficient in the distinction of the maturity stages providing a satisfactory size separation between them.
