Аннотация:Fish recruitment is a key process for maintaining sustainable fish populations. In the marine environment, fish recruitment is carried out in many different ways, all of which have different life history strategies. The objective of this book is to argue for greater linkages between basic and applied research on fisheries recruitment, and assessment and management of exploited fish stocks. The reproductive styles and population dynamics are closely connected with the types of gametogenesis, gonadal differentiation, and mechanisms of determination of final fecundity. In this chapter, a brief description of these events is followed by an analysis of reproductive strategies and types of early ontogeny that have implications for sustainable exploitation of fish stocks.ISBN: 978-1-118-75274-6
