South Carolina — possibly indicating the presence 

 of ripening males from that locality, but he gave 

 no season or definite locality. 



Referring to crysos that appeared at Pensacola, 

 Fla., in April and May, Stearns, in Goode (1882: 

 32), stated— 



On their arrival the larger fish contain spawn, which in 

 July and August becomes quite full, after which none are 

 seen but the young fish of about 10 inches in length, until 

 there is a general movement towards the sea. It is 

 believed that the adult fish spawn in the bays, but the 

 only evidence to support that belief is that they come 

 inside with spawn, go away without it, and that very 

 young fish are found there. 



This reasoning is analogous to that which for 

 many years was applied to the Atlantic coast 

 species of Mugil. Anderson (1957), however, has 

 shown that spawning of M. curema occurs in off- 



shore waters, and that the young do not come 

 into the coast and bays until after attaining a 

 certain size. Since larvae of crysos were abundant 

 offshore and smaller larvae have never been 

 recorded inshore, it is probable that crysos also 

 spawns offshore. 



If, as suggested, there is a motile, northward- 

 moving population of developing young, the 

 majority of the specimens taken by the Gill would 

 have been the result of s ± awning that occurred 

 to the south of this area. Some of the smaller 

 specimens (5.4 to 7.5 mm.) taken by the Gill off 

 Georgia to North Carolina and the 5.7 to 7.7-mm. 

 specimens taken by the Fish Hawk from near the 

 Lookout Light Ship (table 6) may have been 

 spawned within this area.
