Excerpt from Contributions to the Biology of the Philippine Archipelago and Adjacent Regions: The Fishes of the Families Amiidae, Chandidae, Duleidae, and Serranidae, Obtained by the United States Bureau of Fisheries Steamer "Albatross" In 1907 to 1910, Chiefly in the Philippine Islands and Adjacent SeasSmall fishes of tropical seas, abundant on coral reefs or in sheltered situations, some in deep water. Many are brilliant in color, Often bright red or pink. Some are interesting in the habit of the male carrying the ova and very young in his mouth. Until the present time only a few species were known to use this method, though now we have found this condition more or less general. The male at this season may easily be known by its swollen chin. The ova are carried about packed closely as a dense mass.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
