Juvenile fish surveys, North Wales Coast (1987-1993)

This comprises a study of flatfish nursery population (with emphasis on commercially important species such as plaice and sole) to examine factors which influence distribution and year class strength of 0-groups in first few months of life. Developments include the assessment of abundance, biomass and production of all mobile epibenthic predators which compete for resources with flatfish juveniles. This research is focused on the centre of a large nursery ground on the North Wales coast, close to Rhyl, Clwyd.

本项研究针对扁形鱼幼鱼种群（着重于如比目鱼和鳎鱼等商业价值较高的种类）展开，旨在探究影响其分布及出生群体在生命最初几个月内的数量优势的因素。研究内容包括对所有可移动底栖捕食者种群丰富度、生物量和产量的评估，这些捕食者与扁形鱼幼鱼竞争资源。研究聚焦于威尔士北部海岸一大片育幼场中心区域，靠近里尔和克卢伊德地区。
