ABSTRACT Identifying efficient otolith subsampling strategies that maintain data quality for stock assessments is imperative given limited resources to meet age‐estimation demands of managed fish stocks. Our objective was to evaluate the performance of three different subsampling strategies: (1) fixed otolith subsampling, (2) proportional otolith ...

Swimming abilities of temperate pelagic fish larvae prove that they may control their dispersion in coastal areas [PDF]
The Sense Acuity and Behavioral (SAAB) Hypothesis proposes that the swimming capabilities and sensorial acuity of temperate fish larvae allows them to find and swim towards coastal nursery areas, which are crucial for their recruitment. To gather further

Long-term changes in maturation of sardine, Sardina pilchardus, in Portuguese waters
Long-term changes in sardine maturation were described using samples collected from landings off the western Portuguese coast since 1947. Estimates of the length at 50% maturity (L50) were calculated in 44 years of the study period and proved to be good ...
