Reproductive activity in common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) was investigated
by examining 57 male and 83 female specimens collected near Fort Pierce, Florida during
1984-85. From late April to early October, yolked eggs were present and spawning could have
occurred. From mid-April to mid-September, mean oocyte diameter was in the range 313-419
µm, mean female gonadosomatic index was 2.0-5.0%, and male GSI was 0.8-2.0%. Florida Atlantic University.
