Variation in prey availability and feeding success of larval Radiated Shanny (Ulvaria subbifurcata Storer) from Conception Bay, Newfoundland

Variation in prey availability and feeding success of larval Radiated Shanny (Ulvaria subbifurcata Storer) from Conception Bay, Newfoundland

Recruitment of pelagic fish populations is believed to be regulated during the planktonic larval stage due to high rates of mortality during the early life stages.
