Abstract

      The fecundity of damsel fish, Chromis chromis, was studied from 283 specimens. There was no significant correlation between the size of the eggs and the size of the fish. Fecundity ranged from 6 050 to 73 688 mature ova. Fecundity increased exponentially with fish length and age. The correlation between fecundity and age was slightly better than that between fecundity and length.
