    • Coral reef fish reproduction, species, fish length and weight, and others within New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea from 2015-03-12 to 2015-03-23 (NCEI Accession 0144344)

    Metadata Updated: November 2, 2023

    Natural-resource professionals performed novel research on the reproductive biology of exploited reef fishes. Each participant produced reproductive data for a single target species, yielding new information for four species. These data can be used to describe: length-weight relationships (including sex-based differences), size-at-maturity for each sex (minimum size-at-maturity, and size-at-50%-maturity), reproductive mode (total vs batch spawning, gonochorism vs hermaphroditism), sex ratios (overall and size-specific), length-fecundity relationships, and reproductive periodicity (lunar, seasonal).

    The fish were taken in the coral reef ecosystem for the area west and south of Kavieng, New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea in March 2015. Specific site location of each catch was not given. About 90% of the catch was near Mait Island.
