sexual maturity Explanation: It it were a scientific or technical paper I would probably use "ovarian maturity", but "sexual maturity" adds enough specificity without being overly pedantic and is the most common expression in this context. "Since it takes 5-6 years for the sturgeon fry to reach sexual maturity." |
