Grow fast or die young: influence of ocean conditions and larval growth on patterns of selective mortality and settlement variability of rockfishes

Creator:

Fennie, Hamilton William

Abstract:

Most benthic marine fishes have a biphasic life cycle with a dispersive pelagic larval stage that spends weeks to months in the plankton before metamorphosing into juveniles and settling to benthic habitats. The magnitude of mortality during the early life stages of marine fishes typically drives variability in year-class strength....

DISSERTATION OF Hamilton William Fennie for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Integrative Biology
Influence of Regional Oceanography on the Distributions, Trophic Interactions, Growth, and Survival of the Early Life History Stages of Fishes

Creator:

Swieca, Kelsey

Abstract:

Most marine fishes experience high rates of mortality during their early life history stages with far reaching consequences for adult population dynamics. Within a few weeks of hatching, relatively small changes in larval growth and mortality rates can lead to orders of magnitude variability in year-class strength. Growth and survival...
