During their juvenile stage they concentrate in coastal<br \/>\nnursery areas. Food conditions in these areas are an important factor determining habitat quality and ultimate<br \/>\nsurvival. Recently, growth reduction in summer has been observed in plaice, Pleuronectes platessa, feeding on<br \/>\nboth epibenthic and benthic prey. In the current study, we test the hypothesis that summer growth reduction is a<br \/>\nconsequence of a reduced availability of benthic prey by analysing summer growth in a fully benthic feeding<br \/>\nflatfish, juvenile sole (Solea solea). Summer growth was studied for contrasting years with respect to preceding<br \/>\nwinter water temperature conditions to exclude possible irreversible non-genetic adaptations of growth to water<br \/>\ntemperature. Individual growth, estimated from otolith daily rings, was compared with predictions of maximum<br \/>\ngrowth at the prevailing temperature. In line with expectations, 0-group sole showed strong summer growth<br \/>\nreduction, supporting the notion that summer growth reduction is related to feeding modes. Summer growth<br \/>\nreduction underlines the importance of a good definition of how and over what time period growth as indicator<br \/>\nof habitat quality is estimated and compared.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6540,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7577"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7578,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7577\/revisions\/7578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6540"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
