In this paper, we provide a construction of (q + 1) -ovoids of the hyperbolic quadric Q+(7, q), q an odd prime power, by glueing (q + 1)/2 -ovoids of the elliptic quadric Q-(5, q). This is possible by controlling some intersection properties of (putative) m -ovoids of elliptic quadrics. It eventually yields (q + 1) -ovoids of Q+(7, q) not coming from a 1 -system. Secondly, for certain values of q, we construct line spreads of PG(3, q) that have as many secants to a given elliptic quadric as possible. This is then used to construct m -ovoids for m is an element of {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} in Q+(7, 3). (c) 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
