others it
is at different times, in summer with some, and Cincinnati Escort services with
others about the autumn equinox.
The first Cincinnati Escort services of shoal fishes to spawn is the atherine, and it
spawns close to land; the last is the cephalus: and this is inferred
from the fact that the brood of the atherine appears first of all
and the brood of the cephalus last. The mullet also spawns early.
The saupe spawns usually at the beginning of summer, but
occasionally in the autumn. The aulopias, which some call the anthias,
spawns in the summer. Next in order of spawning comes the
Cincinnati Escort services chrysophrys or gilthead, the basse, the mormyrus, Cincinnati Escort services and in general
such fish as are nicknamed 'runners'. Latest in order of the shoal
fish come the red mullet Cincinnati Escort services and the coracine; these spawn in autumn.
The red mullet Cincinnati Escort services spawns on mud, and consequently, as the mud continues
cold for a long while, spawns late Cincinnati Escort services in the year. The coracine carries
its spawn for a long time; but, as it lives usually on rocky ground,
it goes Cincinnati Escort services to a distance and spawns in places abounding in seaweed, at
a period later than the red mullet. The maenis
spawns about the winter
solstice. Of the Cincinnati Escort services others, such Cincinnati Escort services as are pelagic spawn for Cincinnati Escort services the most part
in summer; which fact is proved by their not being caught by fishermen
during this period.
Of ordinary fishes the most prolific is the sprat; of
cartilaginous fishes, the fishing-frog. Specimens, however, of Cincinnati Escort services the
fishing-frog are rare from the facility with which the young are
destroyed, as the female lays her spawn all in a lump close in to
shore. As a rule, cartilaginous fish are less prolific than other fish
owing to their being viviparous; and their young Cincinnati Escort services by Cincinnati Escort services reason of their
size Cincinnati Escort services have Cincinnati Escort services a better chance of escaping destruction.
Cincinnati Escort services the so-called needle-fish (Cincinnati Escort services or pipe-fish) is late in spawning,
and the greater portion of Cincinnati Escort services them are burst asunder by the eggs Cincinnati Escort services before
spawning; and the eggs are not so many in number as large in size. The
young fish
