The terms ‘strategy’ and ‘tactics’, both derived from military science, are useful in the analysis of fishreproductive processes(Wootton, 1984). Wootton considers reproductive strategy as a ‘overall pattern of reproduction typically shown by individuals in a species’; it consists of a complex of traits, e.g. age at first reproduction, fecundity and many others, including size and nature of gametes (Wootton, 1982, 1984). Although the original meaning of the terms strategy and tactics implied rational planning, this implication has no relevance to biological processes. The latter occur in variable environments; both the overall reproductive strategy and is tactical variations are adaptative. One approach to the study of such adaptive mechanisms is by analysing the relationships between traits of reproductive strategy and environmental variables.
