Climate-induced year-class fluctuations of whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri (Pisces, Sciaenidae) in the Río de la Plata estuary, Argentina-Uruguay

The whitemouth croaker, Micropogonias furnieri, is exploited by coastal fisheries in the Plata estuary. Its age structure shows the predominance of certain year classes, which are indicative of recruitment variability. The estuary is affected by river discharge variations associated with climatic si...

The results showed co-movements for recruitment, runoff and air temperature series at approximately 6.5, 3.4 and 2.4yr; the temperature reinforced the runoff effects on recruitment at the 6.5-yr peak, and it weakened them at the 3.4- and 2.4-yr peaks.

Both the statistical and modeling results supported the hypothesis that the effects of extreme river discharges on retention may regulate croaker recruitment by promoting high (low) recruitment during low (high) discharge periods. © 2011 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
