Ecosystems influence human societies, leading people to manage ecosystems for human
benefit. Poor environmental management can lead to reduced ecological resilience and …

Medusae, siphonophores and ctenophores (here grouped aspelagic coelenterates') interact
with fish in several ways. Some interactions are detrimental to fish populations, such as …

Early life survival is critical to successful replenishment of fish populations, and hypotheses
developed under the Growth‐Survival Paradigm (GSP) have guided investigations of …

Many benthic marine invertebrates develop by means of free-living, dispersive larval stages.
The presumed advantages of such larvae include the avoidance of competition for …

Weight‐specific growth (G) and instantaneous mortality (M) rates are linked processes
during early life, and the MIG ratio determines stage‐specific mortality. A comparative …

It is now clear that data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of
unique contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and …

For most fish species, strong environmental constraints imposed by living in an aquatic
medium have produced converging streamlined body forms without prehensile appendices …

An individual-based model named OSMOSE (Object-oriented Simulator of Marine
Ecosystems Exploitation) is used to investigate the dynamics of exploited marine fish …

Growth-selective predation mortality was demonstrated for postlarval Japanese anchovy
Engraulis japonicus in field research. The larval anchovy and their predatory fish were …

Abundances of fish populations can vary over time by orders of magnitude, and five‐to‐10‐
fold variability is usual. The variability is recorded on time scales ranging from millennial to …
