Larval snapper (Chrysophrys auratus, Sparidae) sampled over 7 years had different diets
and feeding strategies between years with lower versus higher larval and 0+ abundances …

Fish have complex life cycles that contribute to interannual variability in recruitment. The
growth–mortality hypothesis has received broad acceptance as a driver of recruitment …

Recruitment success in demersal fish species that settle in estuaries after a pelagic larval
duration in coastal waters is dependent on (1) abiotic and biotic variables that promote good …

Larval and early juvenile fish living in temperate environments with limited resources face
conflicting metabolic demands. To optimise their survival probability, fish must balance the …

Food availability is an important factor in survival and growth of juvenile fish and has been
proposed as a major factor shaping the patterns of distribution and abundance of 0+ …

In fishes, the growth-mortality hypothesis has received broad acceptance as a driver of
recruitment variability. Recruitment is likely to be lower in years when the risk of starvation …

Predator exclusion and habitat complexity factors that may affect juvenile red snapper
Lutjanus campechanus habitat selection were examined in field and laboratory experiments …

For many fish species, growth and mortality of larvae are closely coupled, with faster-
growing larvae generally experiencing higher survivorship in the plankton, which may lead …

Nursery habitats provide increased survival and growth and are a crucial early life-stage
component for many fish and invertebrate populations. The biogenic structures that provide …

Prey selection shortly after the onset of feeding by laboratory-reared gilthead seabream,
Sparus aurata L., larvae was studied using larvae fed on two types of microcapsule (hard …
