Recorded in 48 countries. The ones with the most species in the group:

From
It lives in coastal waters, estuaries and river mouths of the north-eastern Atlantic and the Mediterranean.
From
It releases up to 200,000 eggs per kg of female body weight, in successive batches.
From
It is anadromous: it spawns in fresh water, rears in the estuary and spends its adult life at sea, but it can complete the whole cycle in fresh water, which is why it has been stocked into reservoirs across half the United States.
From
At spawning, seven or eight males surround a larger female and push her towards the surface, a commotion anglers call a rock fight.
From
Unlike salmon, it spawns several times over its lifetime.
