MEMOIRS OF THE QUEENSLAND MUSEUM. 
The spawning* habits and the characteristics of the eggs and early larvae 
of P. sexlineatus are unknown, except what can be deduced from the above 
collection data, namely that the spawning season is an extended one, presumably 
beginning in late summer and lasting until well into the winter. As the 
localities of collection of postlarval P. sexUneatus are the same as those of 
Text-fig. 3. — Post-larvae of Trumpeter Perch, Pelates sexlineatus (Quoy & Gaimard) . 
A. and B. — From specimens 13.5 mm. long. 
C. — From a specimen 15.0 mm. long. 
D. — From a specimen 18.5 mm. long.
