Variation in maturity-at-age and size in three populations of American plaice
American plaice ( Hippoglossoides platessoides ) is a flatfish species that has a wide distribution throughout the North Atlantic. Variability in age and size at maturity was examined for cohorts of American plaice from the early 1960s to early 1990s for the three main stocks off the coast of Newfou...
