Abstract

Observations on the natural spawning of Alectis indicus (Rüppell) and Caranx ignobilis (Forsk.) were conducted in their natural habitat. Spawning occurred in pairs at daytime between ebbing and flooding tides. The spawning area was a shoal of 35–45 m, located in a deeper channel between two islands. The transparent eggs of C. ignobilis are pelagic. Copyright © 1974, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
