Reproductive activity is highest during warm seasons, likely linked to nutrient availability in Canarian waters.
Average size at first maturity was significantly greater in females compared to males across all species observed.
Morphological measurements showed test length increases without weight gain, impacting population structure analysis.
Findings provide first reproductive data for these species in the North Atlantic, aiding in future conservation efforts.
