Using a larval growth index to detect the environment-recruitment relationships and its linkage with basin-scale climate variability: A case study for Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) in the Yellow Sea

Increasing evidence has suggested that climate variability has a vital impact on the stock fluctuation of many small pelagic fishes by regulating their recruitment. However, most recruitment-related studies have focused on large spawning/nursing grounds at annual or seasonal scales, while few have c...
