Abstract
The reproductive biology of the commercially exploited fish St. Joseph or Cape Elephant fish Callorhinchus capensis, is described based on 173 fishes caught by gillnets in October 2010 from Velddrif along the west coast of South Africa. Segregation by sex was reflected by a difference in sex ratio from 1:1 for females to males fishes collected from the fishery (?2 = 16.23, d.f. = 1, p = 5.6 x 10-5).
