In the Gulf of Thailand, shrimp recruitment decreased with decreasing egg production, but increased with decreasing total (mainly fish) standing stock. The net result of these counteracting effects was an overall increase in shrimp recruitment, attributable to a greatly reduced prerecruit mortality.application/pdfJournal Articlehttps://doi.org/10.1577/1548-8659%281982%29111%3C13%3AAMTETS%3E2.0.CO%3B2
