Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be less demographically ‘open’ than previously thought. The degree to which a population receives recruits from local sources versus other ...
Settlement, movement and early juvenile mortality of the yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus
Type: Journal Article
The yellowtail snapper Ocyurus chrysurus is one of the most important and heavily targeted reef fishery species in the Caribbean. In this study, we investigate the first month of post-settlement life in shallow seagrass ...
Estimation of natural mortality rates from selectivity and catch length-frequency data
Type: Journal Article
In conventional catch curves, the logarithms of the relative abundances of successive age groups are plotted against age, in order to obtain an estimate of the total instantaneous mortality rate, Z, from the slope of the ...
