Recently, the importance of the female to population dynamics—especially her non‐genetic
contribution to offspring fitness or maternal effect—has received much attention in studies of …

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 …

Larger and older fish contribute disproportionately to spawning and play an important role in
the replenishment of exploited stocks. Fishing often removes specific size‐and age‐classes …

An understanding of the reproductive biology of a species is a central aspect of providing
sound scientific advice for fisheries management. Reproductive biology plays a large part in …

Contemporary fisheries research and management have highlighted the need to protect size
and age structures of fish populations. Many studies particularly emphasize a …

Anthropogenic and/or climate-driven changes in zooplankton dynamics may serve as a
bottom-up regulator of productivity of small pelagic fish. In the central Seto Inland Sea of …

Stock recruitment (SR) relationships aim to predict the recruitment based on a given level of
reproductive stock. Though the spawning stock biomass (SSB) is commonly used to fit such …

Maternal effects on offspring viability significantly contribute to the productivity and resilience
of exploited marine fish populations. The temporal trend of biomass of chub mackerel …

The Engraulis ringens distribution (4 to 42 S) covers a wide variety of environmental
conditions. We assessed the coping mechanisms used by this anchoveta in different …

Production of high-quality offspring from farm-raised broodstock is fundamental to establish
a closed-cycle hatchery production of European eel, Anguilla anguilla. While development …
