Climate controls on marine ecosystems and fish populations (2010, background): “Beaugrand et al. (2003), Beaugrand (2004), and Heath and Lough (2007) show that the large decadal fluctuations in cod recruitment were accompanied, and probably caused, by synchronous changes in the zooplankton eaten by larval and juvenile cod.”
Impacts of climate change on the complex life cycles of fish (2013, background): “The prey consumed by larval cod varies among populations (Heath and Lough, 2007) but larval growth rates increase with increasing temperature and photoperiod, with the latter having a stronger influence in years of high prey abundance (Suthers and Sundby, 1996;”
The North Atlantic Ocean as habitat for Calanus finmarchicus: Environmental factors and life history traits (2014, background): “finmarchicus, and copepodite 3 stages are important food for the juvenile fish in shelf and shallow sea nursery areas (Runge and de 4 Lafontaine, 1996; Heath and Lough, 2007).”
