2007 journal article

Density-dependent growth and mortality in an estuary-dependent fish: an experimental approach with juvenile spot Leiostomus xanthurus

MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES, 343, 251–262.

By: J. Craig n, J. Rice n, L. Crowder* & D. Nadeau*

author keywords: density-dependent growth; density-dependent mortality; spot; Leiostomus xanthurus; estuarine nursery; food limitation
TL;DR: The results provide strong experimental support for the hypothesis that density-dependent processes during the demersal marine fishes juvenile stage in estuaries can modify patterns in the abundance of spot, and perhaps other estuary-dependent species, that are established prior to settlement.
