Note

The current available information on spawning by serranid fishes in captivity is reviewed. Much work has been done on members of the family Serranidae because of their value as food or ornamental fish. At least 31 species have been induced to ovulate with hormones, and at least 23 species have spawned voluntarily (without chemical treatment) in captivity. Typically, a serranid female with fully-yolked oocytes will ovulate within 24–72h (usually 36–50h) after the first of 1–3 injections of 500–1,000 IU human chorionic gonadotropin/kg body weight.
