A variety of development characteristics, morphological, behavioural, and experiential,
contribute to the extreme vulnerability of young fishes to predation. The influence of these …

Abundances of fish populations can vary over time by orders of magnitude, and five‐to‐10‐
fold variability is usual. The variability is recorded on time scales ranging from millennial to …

Early life survival is critical to successful replenishment of fish populations, and hypotheses
developed under the Growth‐Survival Paradigm (GSP) have guided investigations of …

We used literature reports to evaluate the hypotheses that: 1. year-class strenght in marine
fishes is determined by mortality operating during the pre-juvenile stage of the life history …

Scyphozoa have attracted the attention of many types of people. Naturalists watch their
graceful locomotion. Fishermen may dread the swarms which can prevent fishing or eat …

We tested the hypothesis that fast growing Atlantic cod Gadus morhua survived better than
their population of orlgin in the winters of 1991-1992 and 1992-1993 on the Scotian Shelf …

Publisher Summary This chapter defines important considerations in the use of condition
indices as applied to marine fish larvae, and describes the present state of knowledge …

SYNOPSIS. We examine the variation in egg sizes of marine teleosts and evaluate the
maternal contribution to this variability. At the species level, egg sizes in 309 North Atlantic …

A combined mesocosm and microcosm approach was employed to analyze the impact of
age, and of size independent of age effects, of yolk-sac capelin larvae Mallotus villosus on …

Growth-selective predation mortality was demonstrated for postlarval Japanese anchovy
Engraulis japonicus in field research. The larval anchovy and their predatory fish were …
