Year-class strength of Barents Sea capelin has been monitored closely since the early
1970s and during this∼ 45 years period three short periods of almost total recruitment …

We analyzed recruitment–environment relationships for 5 distinct Baltic Sea herring stocks
inhabiting the areas of the Western Baltic (WBH), the Main Basin (MBH), the Gulf of Riga …

Many of the factors affecting recruitment in marine populations are still poorly understood,
complicating the prediction of strong year classes. Despite numerous attempts, the …

Predation has been suggested as a cause of substantial mortality of fish larvae to the degree
that it might influence recruitment. This field-based study concludes that juvenile herring …

The Barents Sea stock of capelin (Mallotus villosus) has suffered three major collapses (>
90% reduction) since 1985 due to recruitment failures. As capelin is a key species in the …

Capelin (Mallotus villosus) is a short-lived, coldwater, pelagic species that occurs in large
populations in the Barents Sea, around Iceland and in the Newfoundland–Labrador area in …

Recruitment of capelin in the Barents Sea fail when juvenile herring and cod are abundant
and the potential for feeding competition of wild sympatric capelin and herring larvae and …

Functional stock-recruitment relationships (SRRs) are often difficult to quantify and can differ
over space. Additionally, climate change adds to the complexity of recruitment dynamics …

Mackerel (Scomber scombrus) is one of the ecologically and economically most important
fish species in the Atlantic. Its recruitment has, for unknown reasons, been exceptional from …

The interplay between temperature-related processes and predation in determining age-1
recruitment strength between 1992 and 2006 was analysed for North Sea cod (Gadus …
