Abstract

The observed patterns in settlement densities of plaice reflected the potential for variation in larval supply, local habitat characteristics and predation, over the spatial scales investigated. In addition, we outline the processes likely to produce density-dependent relationships in growth and mortality rates of juvenile plaice. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
