In this paper, by means of a histoecological approach, the convenience of incorporating the stereological analysis of the maturing oocitary stocks in the study of the femenine gonads sexual cycles - mainly in species producing a large number of gametes - is shown. So the numerical and volumetric characteristics of each one of the oocitary stratums are determined, which allows the characterization of the sexual maturation stages by a diversity index
