The species has a relatively low fecundity and this combined with the extended spawning season suggests that this species utilises a spawning strategy which involves each individual female spawning a number of times. They have a short lifespan and most normally die after the spawning season although some individuals survived into their second year.
This species exhibits a low reproductive rate and a prolonged spawning period, indicating a strategy of multiple spawns per female. Their short lifespans, typically ending after the spawning season, are punctuated by a few individuals surviving into their second year.
