Pollock can migrate significant distances depending on the availability of food and spawning locations
Pollock spawn in large groups, releasing eggs and sperm into the water column
Non-migratory
Pair bonding, external fertilization
Pomfret is known to migrate seasonally.
During reproduction, Pomfret forms schools and spawns in the open water.
Pompano are known to undertake seasonal migrations, moving between different habitats in response to changes in water temperature and food availability.
Pompano are known to form spawning aggregations during the breeding season, where large numbers of individuals gather to reproduce.
Pompano dolphinfish have a complex migration pattern. They can travel long distances in search of food and warmer waters.
