Life history and geographical pattern of growth in capelin, Mallotus villosus, of the Labrador and Newfoundland areas
Growth patterns of capelin, Mallotus villosus, in the Labrador-Newfoundland region were examined on the basis of back-calculated estimates of fish length from otolith measurements. The occurrence of Lee's phenomenon and growth compensation as a characteristic feature of capelin growth is attrib...
