| Summary: | Word processed copy. === Includes bibliographical references (leaves 52-65). === The main objectives of this study were: (1) to develop a method of accurately and consistently counting daily increments; (2) to use the increments in otoliths counts to estimate age of the individuals; (3) to back-calculate hatch-dates to identify cohorts, and, (4) to analyze growth and mortality of sardine larvae and juveniles in the Southern Benguela region during early 2001. |
