Remarks Dukl nests are abundant on the inner edge of the reef flat, north of the lagoon end of Toachel m'lengui. Johannes' (1981) observed eggs in the nest only three days before and one day after new and full moons. According to Ngiraklang, known to be a knowledgeable fisherman, dukl build their nests by lying on one side and wriggling rapidly (Ref. 2928). Also Ref. 10494, 100789.
