The students should:

• have a basic understanding of major developmental events and constraints in the early life history of fish
• have insights into the role of the physical environment on the distribution, growth and behaviour of early life stages
• have basic knowledge of possibilities and limitations of otolith microstructure and ¿chemistry analyses in elucidating early life history characteristics
• have an overview of major recruitment mechanism hypotheses underlying variations in fish population abundance

Mål og innhald

The course will cover central topics in recruitment biology of fish. The lectures will deal with relevant recruitment mechanisms in fish populations with emphasis on processes regulating growth and survival in the early life history of fish. The importance of early life studies of fish studies for management of fish resources will also be exemplified. The colloquium part will include student presentations of papers from selected topics (can vary from year to year).
