Abstract

Information on the movements of two species of flounder, Rhombosolea plebeia and R. leporina, in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand, was obtained in 1968-70 from fishing statistics, trawling surveys, and tagging experiments. There was no evidence of significant emigration from the study area and it was therefore concluded that movements were local, consisting essentially of offshore movement to spawn in winter and spring, and of onshore movement in the summer.
