Natural mortality of marine pelagic fish eggs and larvae: role of spatial patchiness
Open accessAbstract
Daily instantaneous natural mortality rates of marine pelagic fish eggs and larvae are higher than expected from the trend of mortality rate with dry weight in the sea.The difference between observed mortality rates and those predicted from the trend of mortality with dry weight is directly and positively correlated with the patchiness of their spatial distribution, which suggests that it is caused by the feeding of predators on patches of eggs and larvae.The product of weight-dependent mortality, 5.26 X 10-3, and 1 + Lloyd's patchiness index predicts mortality rates close to those that have been measured from the field by other workers.Mechanisms that control the spatial patchiness of eggs and larvae may control early life history survival and thereby influence relative year-class strength of adult fish stocks.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
