本文对日本伊豆群岛八丈岛海域的黄唇鱼（Xanthichthys mento）的繁殖生态进行了研究。雄性会建立领地，并不断追逐路过附近的雌性。在产卵前和产卵期间，每只雄性的领地内有1 - 3只雌性。本种在桑迪底成对产卵。鸡蛋散落在地上，附着在沙粒上。雌性通过向蛋喷水来照顾蛋，并保护蛋免受入侵者的侵害，而雄性则帮助保护蛋。因此，观察双亲蛋护理2天直至孵化。无论是男性和女性消失后，蛋照顾的领土。本文将该种的生殖生态与其它种类的生殖生态进行了比较，并对该种的独特性进行了讨论。曼托被描述。
Reproductive ecology of the crosshatch triggerfish, Xanthichthys mento (Balistidae) was studied at Hachijojima, Izu Islands, Japan. Males established territories and repeatedly chased females passing nearby. There were 1 - 3 females in each male's territory before spawning and during egg care. This species spawned in pairs on the sandy bottom. Eggs were scattered and attached to sand particles. Females care for the eggs by blowing water on them and guarding them against intruders, while males helped in guarding. Thus, biparental egg care was observed for 2 days until hatching. Both the males and females disappeared from the territories after the egg care. The reproductive ecology of this species is compared with that of other balistids and the unique features of X. mento are described.
