Metamorphosis, growth, and settlement of Pacific sanddab (Citharichthys sordidus) to a continental shelf nursery, inferred from otolith microstructure

Creator:

Donohoe, Christopher James

Abstract:

Processes of metamorphosis, settlement, and growth were examined in Pacific sanddab using field studies and otolith microstructure. This flatfish transforms at large sizes, has a gradual metamorphosis, and settles to a nursery on the middle continental shelf. Eye migration takes 3 months and "metamorphosis proper" which begins after completion of...

Classification of Icelandic watersheds and rivers to explain life history strategies of Atlantic salmon

The geological formations of Iceland are very different in character depending on their age and formation history. Three major types of formations occur: Tertiary, Plio-Pleistocene,...
