Images of histological sections of oocytes for the bivalve Astarte crenata and seastar Ctenodiscus crispatus from the Western Barents Sea for summer 2017.

Images of histological sections of oocytes to quantify oocyte size frequency distributions in Astarte crenata and Ctenodiscus crispatus used in the analyses by Reed et al. 2021 (Ecology and Evolution) from the Western Barents Sea during summer 2017 across a North - South transect intersecting the polar front.
