Abstract
Understanding the processes affecting recruitment is a fundamental objective in fishery research. Starvation and preation are believed to be the major factors influencing survival of young fish (Hunter, 1984), and mortality due to these two factors must be quantified to understand how they control recruitment of young fish to a fish stock.
