Age-based demography of the glacier lanternfish (Benthosema glaciale) in the Flemish Cap

8 páginasIt is important to understand the population dynamics of myctophids for a better understanding of the functioning of the ecosystem. Here, age-based demographic parameters of glacier lanternfish (Benthosema glaciale) from the Flemish Cap were calculated to estimate ages from counts of annuli in the whole otolith. Because myctophids are considered opportunistic strategists, changes in their demographic features may reflect shifts in the ecosystemPeer reviewe
