Spawning on the edge: spawning grounds and nursery areas around the southern African coastline

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2002
The southern African coastline is dominated by strong currents. Along the eastern seaboard, the warm western boundary Agulhas Current sweeps close inshore along the shelf edge before diverging from the coast on the Agulhas Bank and retroflecting back into the Indian Ocean.

Inter- and intraspecific dietary variations and diet overlap patterns of plaice ( Pleuronectes platessa L.), dab ( Limanda limanda L.), lemon sole ( Microstomus kitt Walbaum) and long rough dab ( Hippoglossoides platessoides Fabricius) from a coastal bank off Norway were analysed.

Circulatory Function of Pink Salmon at the Spawning Grounds

1972
After having spent 18 months of their two-year life span in the Pacific Ocean, mature pink salmon (Oncorhynchusgorbuscha) begin a spawning migration which instinctively leads them to the freshwater stream of their birth. Apparently they negotiate the hundreds of miles of the migratory route while abstaining totally from eating.

Journal of Fish Biology, 1988
Ria de Alvor is a small estuary between Lagos and Portimão on the south coast of Portugal, 37°7′–37°10′N, 8°35′–8°38′W.Samples were collected monthly in the period April 1985–March 1986 in an ichthyoplankton and ichthyofauna survey of the estuary. A WP‐2 plankton net was used for catching ichthyoplankton, and a beam trawl and a beach seine were used ...

Fidelity of adult cod to spawning grounds in Scottish waters

Fisheries Research, 2006
This study investigates site fidelity of Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua) to spawning grounds in Scottish coastal waters from a synthesis of historic and recent surveys of spawning distribution combined with an analysis of tag-recapture experiments conducted between 1960 and 1986.

Vorticity Characteristics of Chinese Sturgeon Spawning Ground

2009
Since the construction of the Gezhouba Dam in 1981, it has been found that Chinese sturgeon, Acipensor sinensis, performes natural propagation annually in a narrow reach downstream close to the Gezhouba Dam site. This would allow one to better investigate what the hydraulic and morphologic conditions of a river can meet the Chinese sturgeon spawning ...

The Organic carbon content of gravel bed herring spawning grounds and the impact of herring spawn deposition

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 1993
The dry weight and organic carbon content of eggs and components of Clyde spring herring eggs were measured at intervals during their development. Comparison with previously published data suggests that an increase has occurred in the weight of these eggs over the past thirty years.
