Comments: Adults swarm in the littoral zone of coastal waters and migrate to the rivers in May-June. Spawning actually takes place in June-July, usually at night. Incubation takes about 1 week, the fry migrate afterwards to the sea where they continue their growth to adult life, 3-4 years for the males, 4-7 years for the females. The downstream migration towards the estuarine zone occurs during summer. The parents return to sea after spawning (Ref. 30578).
