Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

Abstract The North Atlantic Ocean contains diverse patterns of seasonal phytoplankton
blooms with distinct internal dynamics. We analyzed blooms using remotely-sensed …

The codfish family includes more than 500 species that vary greatly in their abundance in
areas like the North Sea and are widely fished. Gadoids (codfish) gather at particular …

The haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) stock on Georges Bank in the Northwest Atlantic
is characterized by extremely large recruitment events relative to spawning-stock biomass …

The haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) stock of the Georges Bank region of the US
Northeast Continental Shelf displays a pattern of large, episodic recruitments. Among the …

We used remote sensing chlorophyll a concentration data, spring copepod abundance, and
individual fish condition information to understand the annual recruitment variability of two …

Abstract Hogfish, Lachnolaimus maximus (Walbaum), have multiple traits that confound
measuring reproductive potential: they are protogynous, relatively long‐lived harem‐forming …

The Earth is a blue planet, with three quarters of its surface area covered by water. For many
reasons, society needs to keep an eye on conditions in the ocean, but this is not a simple …

Recent assessments of American shad Alosa sapidissima have used stock-specific maturity
schedules in biomass-per-recruit models to establish benchmark total mortality rates for …

Life-history theory suggests that an organism must balance its available energy between two
competing physiological processes to maximize fitness: reproduction and somatic growth …
