Effects of adult age and size structure on reproductive output in marine fishes

  • Chapter
Early Life History and Recruitment in Fish Populations

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

Abstract

In recent decades, levels of exploitation exerted on many fish stocks* have been extreme and the fishing gear frequently employed has removed large members of stocks (Policansky, 1993; Garrod and Schumacher, 1994). As a consequence, individuals in overexploited stocks are often unable to attain the ages and body sizes reached by individuals during periods when fishing pressure was considerably lower (Leaman, 1991; Anon., 1995a). Among other ramifications, the depletion of large fish may seriously lower a stock’s egg production, but stock reproductive potential is further diminished if poorer gamete quality is exhibited by younger compared with older members. Studies on several iteroparous marine fishes and a variety of animals have shown that brood characteristics will change with each successive breeding season and there is evidence for an increase in brood quality with parent reproductive experience (Parker and Begon, 1986; Sargent et al., 1987).
