| This could also affect fish like the grunion, which spawn according to tidal changes. |
| Along with the grunion, these are the only marine fish known to fully emerge from water solely for the purpose of spawning. |
| Their waves wash over the places where the masses of the grunion eggs were buried, the swirl and rush of the surf stirring the sand deeply. |
| The atheriniform is the best known of the spiny-finned group, including flying fishes, guppies, mollies, swordtails, and California grunion. |
| If you had a skillet hot on the coals and threw in a handful of grunion you could never have a finer dish. |
| No other creature displays so exquisite an adaptation to the tidal rhythm as the grunion, a shimmering fish about as long as a man's hand. |
