Facts

• spawns in late spring and early summer (different populations) in large schools in the shoreline, or in very shallow water, to lay adhesive eggs on beaches and banks; The eggs are buried in the gravel. (Ref: fao)
• The spawning mortality of Icelandic capelin is high, especially of the males. It has been estimated that about one half of 4 year old females might on average be spawning for the second time. (Ref: JohaVilh1999)
• DEB application to this species is discussed in EinaBirn2011 (Ref: EinaBirn2011)
