The ecology of young turbot, Scophthalmus maximus (L.), at Borth, Cardiganshire, Wales
The ecology of 0‐ and 1‐group turbot was studied at Borth, Cardiganshire, during the years 1966–68. Newly‐metamorphosed turbot appeared in the surf zone from July to October, Abundance during the period September 1967 to May 1968 decreased at an average rate of 25% of the sampled population per mont...
