Larval abundance variation of Bregmaceros cantori Milliken & Houde, 1984, related to the El Niño events (1987-1996), southern Gulf of Mexico
The influence of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on the abundance variation of fish larvae of Bregmaceros cantori in the southern Gulf of Mexico was analyzed. The study was conducted between 1987 and 1996, using 20 oceanographic cruises. The larval abundance of B. cantori was related to: (1)...
