N2 - The reproductive cycle of Periglypta multicostata (S.), was studied at Isla Espiritu Santo, Gulf of California, Mexico, from October 1992 to December 1993. The reproductive activity was present throughout the study period, except in February 1993, nevertheless a distinct seasonality was observed with three distinct peaks of spawning activity. A clear relationship between spawning and temperature or photosynthetic pigments concentration was not observed. Spawning occurs all year, but at a lower rate in the months with the lowest water temperatures.
