Note

Nassau grouper Epinephelus striurus females ovulated 48–51 h after the first of two intramuscular injections of human chorionic gonadotropin given 24 h apart (usually 0.7 IU/gram body weight). Typical spawns contained 400,000–600,000 eggs. With fresh milt and clean water, fertilization rate was 85 and 86%. Survival from fertilization to first feeding for six spawns was 73–94%.
