Hydrodynamic modelling studies indicate that coastal nurseries<br \/>\ncan be supplied with larvae from multiple offshore spawning locations. To verify this, we<br \/>\ncompared relative size-frequency distributions of demersal juvenile plaice just after larval<br \/>\nimmigration between coastal nurseries as a proxy for larval origin. During 12 yr, up to 21 stations in<br \/>\nthe Dutch coastal zone and international Wadden Sea were visited and sampled at the beginning of<br \/>\nMay at the end of larval immigration. The results of the size-frequency analysis showed 2 distinct<br \/>\nclusters of stations. The first cluster included all stations along the Dutch coast and Wadden Sea up<br \/>\nto Wangerooge in the German East Frisian Wadden Sea, most likely dominated by supply from<br \/>\nspawning grounds in the Southern Bight, with contributions from the English Channel and the<br \/>\nDogger Bank. The second cluster included all stations in the North Frisian Wadden Sea, most<br \/>\nlikely supplied from spawning grounds in the German Bight and near the Dogger Bank. The higher<br \/>\ninterannual variability in the first cluster might be caused by a larger variability in the relative contributions<br \/>\nfrom multiple spawning areas (English Channel, Southern Bight, Dogger Bank). The<br \/>\ncomparison of the relative size-frequency distributions at the end of larval immigration introduced<br \/>\nin this study may also be a useful tool for the validation of connectivity modelling studies in other<br \/>\nareas and for other species.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7442,"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-7693","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\/7693","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=7693"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7698,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7693\/revisions\/7698"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marinesites.nl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
