Growth rate of larval cod versus water temperature on Georges Bank

Conclusions• Strong seasonal trends in growth and

mortality rates• Large interannual differences• Position in fixed solar cycle explains

more variability in M and G than temperature

• Low mortality and rapid growth are necessary but not sufficient for production of a strong year-class
