On Possible Causes of Year-class Variability of Scotian Shelf Silver Hake (Merluccius bilinearis)
The abundance of 1-year-old silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) on the Scotian Shelf (Div. 4VWX) and indices of temperature change in the Northwest Atlantic during the period 1962– 88 were compared. Tendencies of direct and indirect dependence of silver hake recruitment and the abundance of 1-year-o...

| Summary: | The abundance of 1-year-old silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis) on the Scotian Shelf (Div. 4VWX) and indices of temperature change in the Northwest Atlantic during the period 1962– 88 were compared. Tendencies of direct and indirect dependence of silver hake recruitment and the abundance of 1-year-olds on these environmental factors are revealed. |
