Temperature effect on growth and larval duration of plaice Pleuronectes platessa in three regions of the Northeast Atlantic
Transport models for planktonic fish eggs and larvae often use temperature to drive growth because temperature data are readily available. This pragmatic approach can be criticised as too simplistic as it ignores additional factors, such as food availability and growth-rate-dependent mortality. We e...

Transport models for planktonic fish eggs and larvae often use temperature to drive growth because temperature data are readily available.

Larval duration and individual growth were estimated from the otolith microstructure of juvenile plaice collected from nursery grounds in each region, and average sea surface temperatures were reconstructed for each region from satellite data.
