It takes x amount of time to produce and carry those many eggs.. Since males like to chase tail, those males follow the females. This could de the reason why the smaller males are the last to migrate.

Interesting theory on why the smaller fish are last to leave. Never thought of it that way.

No boat, back in the suds.
