We demonstrate how the total uncertainty of the abundance estimate and abundance- at-age estimate of Norwegian spring-spawning herring are affected by uncertainty in the parameters

To investigate the extent and ecological im- portance of spawning in sea-cages for Atlantic cod Gadus morhua (L.), we (1) evaluated the extent, frequency and timing of spawning in

finmarchicus eggs and nauplii, and cod eggs and larvae was determined in order to shed some light on the dietary composition of the main larval prey organisms

We located the most probable spawning locations of Atlantic cod recruits by “back-tracking” larval drift trajectories and found putative source areas on both sides of the

We use the commercially and ecologically important Atlantic cod as a model organism, and (a) quantify the relative profitabilities of prey in terms of energetic, behavioural

During warm years when total primary production is high, the match between peak prey and larval abundance is even less important than the cumulative effects of growth and

The spawning strategy of Arcto-Norwegian cod in relation to Calanus finmarchicus can be named a modified match/mismatch hypothesis, ensuring a adaptive larval
