Contrasting patterns of larval mortality in two sympatric riverine fish species: a test of the critical period hypothesis.

Understanding the causal mechanisms that determine recruitment success is critical to the effective conservation of wild fish populations. Although recruitment strength is likely determined during early life when mortality is greatest, few studies have documented age-specific mortality rates for fis...
