Aspects of reproduction of macrourid fish in the north‐western Ionian Sea are reported. Data were collected during 12 trawl surveys carried out between 1993 and 1995. Mature and running ripe females of Coelorhynchus coelorhynchus, Hymenocephalus italiens and Nezumia sclerorhynchus were found all year round. Mature females of Trachyrhynchus trachyrhynchus were found mainly in August.
