Description of life cycle and mating behavior Spawning probably takes place year-round in equatorial waters to 10° latitude (although 1 study has suggested this needs verification) and during summer periods in both hemispheres to 30° latitude, in both the Indian and Pacific oceans (Ref. 6390). In the southern hemisphere, concentrations of spawning fish probably occur around French Polynesia (Ref. 30354).
