ichthyoplankton until they improve active locomotion. These fishes usually
produce a large number of propagules however, the great majority of them die
before recruitment due to the extrinsic conditions such as predation,
starvation and aberrant drift. In this period, small variations in survival
rates may cause important differences in recruitment success. On the other
hand, the presence of the ideal habitats which can sustain maximal survival for
propagules, can significantly change in space and time. Therefore, it is
critically important that emergence of propagules should match with the
appearance of ideal habitats. To ensure this match, fishes have advanced
different spawning strategies. In this review, intrinsic (spawning strategies)
and extrinsic (environmental factors) conditions affecting the spatio-temporal
distribution of ichthyoplankton have been evaluated on a theoretical basis by
discussing match-mismatch dynamics and recruitment hypotheses. </span> <span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:’Arial Narrow’, sans-serif;"> </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={3}
