Effects of post-settlement habitat use and biotic interactions on survival of the seagrass-associated fish red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)

Due to high mortality encountered by marine fish larvae during their first weeks of life, small changes in the number of individuals surviving through this period can cause large fluctuations in year-class strength.
