Knowledge on the influence of egg-density is a key aspect in IBM's where satisfactory equations to simulate realistic spatial variation are required. The egg-density of European anchovy is poorly known and only some studies on Atlantic provide information about it. An equation was fitted to describe changes in egg-density across development time. We found that the egg-density of anchovy in the Mediterranean is higher than in Atlantic waters. A functional model suitable for Mediterranean and Atlantic waters was established
