Editing Atlantic tripletail (section)

=== Reproduction ===
Spawning primarily occurs in the summer along both the Atlantic and the U.S. [[Gulf of Mexico]] coasts, with peaks during July and August. The species is known to spawn in open water, with peak spawning occurring in the summer months. Females can produce up to 700,000 eggs per [[Spawn (biology)|spawning]] event, and the eggs are pelagic and buoyant. The larvae are planktonic and undergo significant morphological changes before settling to the substrate. Males reach sexual maturity at a smaller size and younger age than females.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=FishingTrips.com |title=FishingTrips® |url=https://fishingtrips.com/atlantic-tripletail |access-date=2023-03-20 |website=FishingTrips® |language=en-US}}</ref> Large congregations of tripletails during the summer months in the inshore and nearshore waters of coastal Georgia suggest this area is a critical estuarian spawning habitat for the species. Larval Atlantic tripletails go through four levels of development; preflexion, flexion, postflexion, and transformation. By the time the larvae reach 0.16 in (4&nbsp;mm), they have large eyes and concave heads. The larvae of Atlantic tripletails resemble those of other species such as [[Caproidae|boarfish]]es, some [[Carangidae|jack]]s, [[spadefish]]es, and [[Moronidae|bass]].<ref name = FM/>
