Recent studies of fish distribution patterns highlight shifts in the spatial distributions of
particular life-stages. Focus has thus far been on changes in habitat use and possible …

Coastal and estuarine habitats are essential for both growth and survival at juvenile stages
for a large proportion of marine fish but are exposed to a variety of threats. However, the …

The importance of survival and growth variations early in life for population dynamics
depends on the degrees of compensatory density dependence and size dependence in …

For species that utilize different habitats throughout their life cycle, the habitat limitation at a
given stage can act as a bottleneck on population abundance, impacting density‐dependent …

Size-selective fishing mortality may induce evolutionary changes to smaller size at
maturation in fish stocks. Marine reserves can be a useful management tool dealing with the …

Survival is variable and often unpredictable during the early lives of fishes. Consequently,
numbers at transitional stages (eg metamorphosis) or at recruitment also are variable and …

Many size-or age-structure fisheries models require estimation of fundamental population
level parameters such as growth, mortality, and recruitment rates that are notoriously difficult …

The incorporation of information on the phenotypic attributes and performance offish into
models of population dynamics may greatly enhance our ability to predict population …

1. This work investigates how cohort survivorship predictions are affected by the rules used
for moving individuals between habitats in a variety of prey and predator environments. 2 …

In fisheries ecology and stock assessment, recruitment signifies the transition from early
stages of the life cycle which are characterized by environmentally-driven variability and …
