Features of reproductive biology and the stages of early ontogeny are described in the mass tropical species manybar goatfish @Parupeneus multifasciatus@. In general, in the catches represented by mainly sexually mature fishes, the females prevail, but the males prevail in the largest size classes. The females reach the first sexual maturity by approximately 110 mm fork length, and they are characterized by continuous oogenesis and egg deposition in batches. The fish spawn over the entire year with the trend to lower values of the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the females from June to October. The features of early ontogeny are compared in manybar goatfish and red mullet @Mullus barbatus ponticus@ from the Black Sea.
