Growing Up Down South: Spatial and Temporal Variability in Early Growth of Fuegian Sprat Sprattus fuegensis From the Southwest Atlantic Ocean

The Fuegian sprat Sprattus fuegensis represents one of the most important pelagic resources in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean (SWAO), exerting a crucial ecological role as an intermediary link in Patagonian food webs. Otolith microstructure of 217 age-0 sprats were analyzed aiming to characterize grow...
