Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations

Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations edited by R.C. Chambers, Edward A. Trippel.

Many of the processes influencing recruitment to an adult fish population or entry into a fishery occur very early in life. The variations in life histories and behaviours of young fish and the selective processes operating on this variation ultimately determine the identities and abundance of survi...
