Most marine and freshwater fishes depend on plankton for food during a period shortly after birth until they are large enough to switch to other prey. At the Inland Fisheries Research Station, Narrandera (NIFRS), native fish are spawned and the larvae transferred to rearing ponds for approximately...

Effects of seasonal and interannual variability of the ocean environment on recruitment to the fisheries of Western Australia
