Abstract

Dissostichus eleginoides spawn over the continental slope from June to September. The eggs, 4.3–4.7 mm diameter, were found in the upper 500 m of the water column over waters 2200–4400 m deep. Incubation of eggs is likely to take about three months. Hatching is probably in October/November. Embryos in egg development stages III and IV are described. Scales are not present until the fish are about 64–74 mm long.
