ABSTRACT Spawning times and spawning intensity during the life cycles of some fish species found off South Africa and Norway were synthesized using data collected from the literature. The comparison of temporal patterns in spawning of South African fish species showed variable spawning times and intensity depending on the environmental conditions within that spawning habitat. Their spawning migration durations were suggested to be short since they inhabit a dynamic coastal upwelling ecosystem with intra-seasonal differences caused by changes in upwelling strength enhanced by south-easterly winds, nutrient-limited waters on the spawning grounds and stable thermal conditions. This contrasts with Norwegian fish species, which showed patterns o...
