Summary

A PhD was undertaken at the University Marine Biological Station Millport (UMBSM) and presented to the University of London. The importance of inshore nursery grounds for commercially important fish species was investigated in the west coast of Scotland. The study investigated the spatial and temporal variations in diet, condition and growth and community analysis techniques were incorporated. Otolith microchemistry was investigated as an effective means of identifying differences in the environmental history of whiting during their initial post-settlement phase. It was suggested that adult populations could potentially be linked to inshore nursery areas.
