Abstract

The longnose killifish,Fundulus similis (Cyprinodontidae), spawns with a semilunar periodicity during an extended breeding season (March through August) along the Alabama (U.S.A.) Gulf coast. Spawning characteristically occurs during the 3–6 days of the ascending and spring tides of each semilunar tidal cycle. Such spawning cycles appear to be a relatively common adaptation within the reproductive strategies of intertidal cyprinodontids.
