I want to study the male reproductive system for two different seasons to obtain histology, histometery, morphology and morphometery. Please guide me how much should be my simple size. What would be a statistically robust sample size?
I plan to take 6-11 animals per season based on my calculation using the Animal research equation using resource equation approach- group comparisonbut some statisians say to use g power analysis.
It depends on what you mean for "studying the male reproductive system". Your statement is too vague for providing any indication of the sample size. If you would like to have a reasonable answer, please provide more technical details regarding the objectives of the study.

Giorgio Perino I will be studying the morphohistology and histochemistry of the testes.
fixative fluid should be at least 10 times the volume of the sample
If you plan to study only the testes, it is not the male reproductive system. In any case, how you will cut the specimens to be processed, and which embedding orientation of the specimen and cutting procedure will be implemented? You are looking already at the end phase but there is a lot in between...Imagine if I would be a reviewer of your manuscript and you did not write anything in the M&M sections...A lot of more details to be provided.
