When do yellow croaker spawn and overwinter?

Yellow croaker lays eggs along the coast from April to June every year, and overwinters in the deep sea in winter.

Life habits of yellow croaker:

Overwintering in the deep sea in winter, migrating to the coast in spring, after spawning in March-June, scattered in the offshore for food, mainly feeding on bran shrimp, hairy shrimp and small fish, and returning to the deep sea in late autumn. Pseudosciaena crocea has the feeding habits of zooplankton and swimming animals, and its food selectivity is small. It mainly feeds on zooplankton, fish and shrimp, among which zooplankton is mainly copepods, fish is mainly goby, and shrimp is shrimp, brown shrimp, white shrimp with ridged tail and puffed shrimp.

In the southern Yellow Sea and the northern East China Sea, Pseudosciaena crocea mainly feeds on swimming animals, but the feeding intensity is different in different life stages (wintering period, spawning period and feeding period), among which the feeding intensity is the weakest in wintering period (1~ March), the middle in spawning period (April ~ May) and the most vigorous in feeding period (June ~ 65438+February).
