Influence of oceanographic parameters on recruitments of megrim (Lepidorhombus whiffiagonis) and four-spot megrim (L.. boscii) in the Northern Spanish continental shelf (ICES Division VIIIc).

Over the past decade, recruitment processes of the two species of Lepidorhombus that overlap in the southern Bay of Biscay seem to respond to similar patterns. This appears to be partially explained by density independent factors. Before summer, egg and larval drift by the currents over the continen...

Sumario:Over the past decade, recruitment processes of the two species of Lepidorhombus that overlap in the southern Bay of Biscay seem to respond to similar patterns. This appears to be partially explained by density independent factors. Before summer, egg and larval drift by the currents over the continental shelf play a key role. After summer, the upwelling strength seems to influence survival of juveniles through food availability.
