Our understanding of the biology of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus) has increased
profoundly in the last decade, and the progress is attributed to the development and …

While fishery closures during the spawning season are commonplace, direct evidence for
their benefit is mainly restricted to species forming large spawning aggregations. This paper …

Oogenesis in fishes follows a universal plan; yet, due to differences in the synchrony and
rate of egg development, spawning frequency varies from daily to once in a lifetime. Some …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

Large changes are taking place in yield-determining traits of commercially exploited fish,
including traits such as size-at-age and age-at-maturation. The cause of these phenotypic …

Daily rates of oxygen consumption, food consumption and growth of plaice (Pleuronectes
platessa) and flounder (Platichthys flesus) have been measured in the laboratory at various …

That sexually mature fish skip reproduction, especially in response to poor condition, has
been documented in many species. We present results from an energy-allocation life history …

This paper attempts to interpret the observed changes in reproductive strategy of female
North Sea plaice since 1900 in the light of possible genetical selection exerted by the …

Probabilistic maturation reaction norms (PMRNs) are emerging as a flexible and general
tool for characterizing phenotypic plasticity in maturation schedules. Describing an …

Most studies that infer geographic distributions of fish using otolith microchemistry assume
that environmental factors (eg temperature, salinity) outweigh intrinsic effects (eg size …
