Reproductive cycle of the brown sole, Limanda herzensteini was investigated by means of histological methods. The testis showed the presence of seminiferous tubule. The tubule consisted of many testicular cysts, each of which contained numerous germ cells - all at the same developmental stage. The ovary consisted of several ovarian lamellae and the oogonia originated from the inner surface of the ovarian lamella. Oocyte development was group-synchronous. Gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the male and female was the highest in January and March, respectively. Reproductive cycle could be classified into the growing (June-September), maturation (October-December), ripe and spent (January-March), and recovery and resting (April-May).
