Early life history and recruitment: legacy and challenges

  • Chapter
Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations

Part of the book series: Chapman & Hall Fish and Fisheries Series ((FIFI,volume 21))

Abstract

Fluctuations in the sizes of fish populations, and of year classes in particular, have long provided the impetus for fisheries investigations. Any determination of whether progress has been made on understanding the basis of these fluctuations, and if new information has utility for resource management, will depend on the definition of progress and the issue to which the knowledge is being applied. We think there are many reasons for optimism and that examples of progress can be found in the information, insights and perspectives contained in this volume. Moreover, these contributions reveal much about the nature and diversity of the investigative process within fisheries. Here we expand on this latter point by considering the context within which research on early life history and recruitment has been conducted, and by identifying emerging perspectives and research directions that appear to us to hold promise for further progress. Although our discussion pertains mostly to research on commercial marine fishes, and particularly those that are large, long lived, and iteroparous, we believe that it has relevance to the study of recruitment in other taxa and systems.
