Early life stages of fish (eggs and larvae) are particularly vulnerable with mortality rates of up
to 99% recorded for a large number of species. High mortality rates result from the limited …

Fatty acids have been used as qualitative markers to trace or confirm predator prey
relationships in the marine environment for more than thirty years. More recently, they have …

The value of big old fat fecund female fish (BOFFFFs) in fostering stock productivity and

Covering not only brown trout, but also their close relatives, this book provides valuable
information which is also relevant to animal ecology. The book highlights the global success …

Understanding how marine organisms will be affected by global change is of primary

Early life survival is critical to successful replenishment of fish populations, and hypotheses
developed under the Growth‐Survival Paradigm (GSP) have guided investigations of …

Compensatory growth (CG) is a phase of accelerated growth when favourable conditions
