| Other Information: |
Adults were moved from QT on 04-18-11 after being in QT since 03-28-11. Adults were collected from Sebastian Inlet on 03-27-11. I didn't notice gravid adults during transfer but obviously at least 1 was. Spawn date is a guess since I didn't witness the event. According to http://www.sms.si.edu/irlspec/Syngna_scovel.htm it can vary between 12 and 21 days.
