Frequency and Periodicity of Spawning in the Clownfish Amphiprion akallopisos Under Aquarium Conditions

Frequency and Periodicity of Spawning in the Clownfish Amphiprion akallopisos Under Aquarium... Amphiprion akallopisos kept under aquarium conditions in South Africa spawned on average 2.2±0.8 (standard deviation) times per month throughout the year. There was no significant correlation between percentage of A. akallopisos pairs spawning and phase of the moon or tidal patterns. The increase in the number of spawnings during some spring and summer months appeared to correlate with changing photoperiod rather than changing water temperature. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Aquarium Sciences and Conservation Springer Journals

Abstract

Amphiprion akallopisos kept under aquarium conditions in South Africa spawned on average 2.2±0.8 (standard deviation) times per month throughout the year. There was no significant correlation between percentage of A. akallopisos pairs spawning and phase of the moon or tidal patterns. The increase in the number of spawnings during some spring and summer months appeared to correlate with changing photoperiod rather than changing water temperature.
