Individual variability in body size provides a template for selective mortality processes during
early life history stages of teleost fishes. This size variability has generated the logically …

Density‐dependent processes such as growth, survival, reproduction and movement are
compensatory if their rates change in response to variation in population density (or …

La compréhension des mécanismes régissant le recrutement des poissons est un sujet
important de l'halieutique. Bien que l'on dispose d'un grand nombre de documents sur les …

Over the past 20 years, the number of published otolith microstructure studies has grown
exponentially (see Jones, this volume). In a literature review, we found that otolith studies …

We tested the hypothesis that fast growing Atlantic cod Gadus morhua survived better than
their population of orlgin in the winters of 1991-1992 and 1992-1993 on the Scotian Shelf …

It is now clear that data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of
unique contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and …

Demography can have a significant effect on reproductive timing and the magnitude of such
an effect can be comparable to environmentally induced variability. This effect arises …

Four early life events (ie, hatching, the ontogenetic diet shift to piscivory, fall lipid
accumulation, and the first winter) are conceptualized as being critical to 1st‐yr recruitment …

The life cycles of fishes are complex and varied, and knowledge of the early life stages is
important for understanding the biology, ecology, and evolution of fishes. In Early Life …

A variety of hypotheses have been proposed regarding the processes that regulate survival
of the planktonic life history stages of marine organisms. Several of these hypotheses have …
