Journal ArticleDOI
Fish reproductive-energy output increases disproportionately with body size
TL;DR: It is shown that larger mothers reproduce disproportionately more than smaller mothers in not only fecundity but also total reproductive energy, which reset much of the theory on how reproduction scales with size and suggest that largermothers contribute disproportionately to population replenishment.

Estimation and analysis of biological parameters in elasmobranch fishes: a comparative life history study
TL;DR: The von Bertalanffy parame- ters asymptotic length and growth rate, and natural mortality and maximum age were used to de- scribe the life-history strategies of elasmobranch fishes and it was found that the M/k ratio in elasmOBranchs is significantly different from those for other fish and reptile taxa.

Maternal Influences on Variation in Egg Sizes in Temperate Marine Fishes
TL;DR: Comparing size variation in model fish to empirical evidence suggests that variation in initial sizes, propagated by growth, could account for a large fraction of the size variation observed months after hatching in natural populations.

Laboratory Guide To Early Life History Stages Of Northeast Pacific Fishes
TL;DR: This laboratory guide presents taxonomic information on eggs and larvae of fishes of the Northeast Pacific Ocean (north of California) and the eastern Bering Sea, with the addition of 200 previously unpublished illustrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
A general theory on fish aggregation to floating objects: An alternative to the meeting point hypothesis
TL;DR: It is thought that aggregation under floats may be the result of behaviour that has evolved to safeguard the survival of eggs, larvae and juvenile stages, during dispersion to other areas, as well as the meeting point hypothesis, which is applicable to one specific case, the tuna and tuna-like species.
