Little is known of the life history of the bluefish 

 south of Cape Hatteras. Our catches indicate spawn- 

 ing occurs in the entire area at least as far south as 

 Cape Kennedy and is restricted to the spring. At the 

 same time the sport fishery catch consisting of small 

 fish (ca. 1.5 lbs) in the Cape Kennedy area reaches a 

 peak (Anderson and Gehringer 1965). It is not known 

 whether the parents of the postlarvae we caught are 

 these 1-yr old fish or an offshore group of older and 

 larger fish. It is known, however, that 1-yr old fish 

 with running ripe gonads are caught off Florida 

 (David G. Deuel, National Marine Fisheries Service, 

 Narragansett, R.I., pers. commun.) and are thus 

 capable of spawning.
