Chatham Deep Water Triplefin

Juveniles are found in shallow waters (12-80 m) then migrate into deeper waters as they mature (Ref. 13227). Eggs are hemispherical and covered with numerous sticky threads that anchor them in the algae on the nesting sites (Ref. 240). Larvae are planktonic which occur primarily in shallow, nearshore waters (Ref. 94114).
