Abstract

Recent changes in world fisheries and in the Ocean Regime have substantially modified the scope of fishery science. Variability in fish stock abundance, a new concern for small-scale fisheries and conservation of littoral environments, and the weight of extensive mariculture have enhanced the priority of investigations on the ecology and dynamics of early stages of aquatic populations. Quantitative understanding of the regulatory mechanisms through which fish stocks regulate their numbers in response to environment fluctuations would contribute to the progress of marine ecosystems exploitation and coherent use.

A preliminary version of this paper has been published in mimeo form (Troadec, 1985).
