The Barents Sea capelin stock is, potentially, the largest capelin stock in the world, with a maximum biomass in the range of 6-8 million tonne. The main spawning grounds for this capelin stock are along the coast of northern Norway. By modeling and fieldwork, this study addresses the interaction between mesoscale physical process and newly hatched capelin larvae. The study documents a close relationship between selected spawning location, advection, retention, mortality windows and dispersal patterns. (c) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
