Consequences of dispersal of subtropically spawned crevalle jacks, Caranx hippos, to temperate estuaries(*).(Statistical Data Included)

From: Fishery Bulletin  |  Date: 7/1/2000  |  Author: McBride, Richard S.; McKown, Kim A.

Abstract.--Caranx hippos spawn at subtropical and tropical latitudes, but some of their propagules are dispersed hundreds of kilometers north of Cape Hatteras into temperate waters of the western North Atlantic. The effect that this northward dispersal pattern has upon the population depends on whether these juveniles return south during autumn to overwinter or whether they become expatriated from the spawning population and die from hypothermal winter conditions at temperate ...
