Title of datasetHorse Mackerel Spawning Grounds
Narrative summary of datasetThis dataset shows spawning grounds of commercially important species, Horse Mackerel.
Summary of processing methodologySpawning area, spawning grounds and spawning beds are considered the locations where commercially important species of fish leave their eggs for fertilisation. Spawn consists of the reproductive cells (gametes) of fish, some of which will become fertilised and produce offspring. The process of spawning typically involves females releasing ova (unfertilized eggs) into the water, often in large quantities, while males simultaneously or sequentially release spermatozoa (milt) to fertilise the eggs. Spawning grounds help understand the species distribution of a particular commerically important fish.
