Abstract Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of natural variations in size and recruitment strength marine fish populations. In this study, relation between size-at-hatch survival was assessed using laboratory experiments on field-caught larvae European sardine ( Sardina pilchardus ). Larval not related to egg but significantly, positively diameter otolith-at-hatch. Otolith diameter-at-hatch also significantly correlated with survival-at-age fed unfed laboratory. For collected...
Abstract. A general description of rocky shore distribution patterns (“zonation”) along the whole Portuguese coast is given to provide context for comparisons mid‐shore organisms. In order test if there was any variation in species and abundance upper lower zone (eulittoral) entire intertidal coast, three main regions were studied (north, centre south) nine shores visited each region. At one 27 locations, levelled a qualitative made, which also aided stratification subsequent quantitative...

Anticlericalism was a decisive trend in Spanish political, social, and cultural life from the beginning of nineteenth century until Civil War. It is true that anticlerical movements also existed other European states, but confrontations were much more intense Spain. José M. Sánchez recalls this concise summary violence unleashed by these struggles: 1822 to 1936, at least 235 members clergy assassinated around 500 churches religious centres burned. In addition, three years War, almost 7,000...

This study investigated the potential control of selected abiotic parameters on an estuarine larval fish assemblage from Lima River. Surveys were done fortnightly during spring tides, April 2002 until 2004, at 11 stations distributed along estuary mouth to 7 km upstream. The surveys consisted subsurface plankton tows 5-min duration using a 1-m diameter, 500-μm mesh net and coupled with vertical profile measurements temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, pH turbidity. River exhibited...
This study presents results of the vertical behaviour European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) larvae as observed at sea off NW Iberian coast during an oceanographic cruise conducted in May 2002. Samples were taken a grid 38 stations (conductivity-temperature-depth [CTD] measurements and Longhurst Hardy Plankton Recorder [LHPR] plankton hauls); 69-h fixed station was also performed (hourly CTD LHPR/neuston hauls every 2 h). The horizontal distribution is closely related to circulation patterns...
Ichthyoplankton monitoring is crucial for stock assessments, offering insights into spawning grounds, size, seasons, recruitment, and changes in regional ichthyofauna. This study evaluates the efficiency of multi-marker DNA metabarcoding using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), 12S rRNA 16S gene markers, comparison to morphology-based methods fish species identification ichthyoplankton samples. Two transects with four coastal distance categories were sampled along southern...
The larval development of the dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus up to benthic juvenile stage is described in detail establish a reference for their identification. Development terms ontogenetic changes morphology, growth, pigmentation, fin structure and skeletal structure. Larvae were reared mesocosms at mean temperature 24·3° C, salinity 36·5, dissolved oxygen 6·4 mg l −1 pH 8·2. Newly hatched larvae had an estimated total length ( L T ) 2·3 mm. On second day post hatching yolk was...
Laboratory experiments were conducted to study the combined effect of temperature (8, 13, 19 and 24°C), food type concentration on grazing rates adult stages calanoid copepod Centropages chierchiae. As prey, diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum dinoflagellate Gymnodinium sp. (both ca. 15 µm cell diameter) used at a range carbon concentrations similar ones experienced in nature (6.4 393.8 µC L−1). Ingestion increased linearly with did not differ between prey types. When comparing temperature,...
