“…Metamorphosis also provoked a change in ring morphology of coral-reef wrasses (Victor, 1982). In our plaice, the peak of metamorphosis was earlier in 1987 than in 1986, mainly because a colder (2-3" C) winter in 1986 delayed metamorphosis through its effect on hatching, larval growth and settlement onset (Riley, 1966;Policansky, 1982). The arrival of different subcohorts probably originated from spawnings at different times or from different spawning localities.…”

Growth and mortality of post-metamorphosed plaice were studied by means of daily increments in the sagittal otoliths. The Gompertz model was the best fit to length-at-age data and there were no significant differences between length-at-age and back-calculated lengths. The microstructure pattern of the otoliths at metamorphosis was also used to estimate hatching and settlement distributions. Differential growth and mortality occurred among sub-cohorts; growth rates and mortality were higher in fish that settled earlier. In 1986, the best survival was for a sub-cohort settling in late May to early June. In contrast, in the warmer season of 1987, survival was highest for the second and third sub-cohorts settling in late April and mid May.

“…Laboratory growth rates however cannot be extrapolated into the field. Riley (1966) found that laboratory reared plaice of 3 mo were much smaller than wild counterparts grown at approximately (1989) remarked that growth in the laboratory was stunted below 5 "C. Hovenkamp (1990) found that larvae reared in the laboratory at 9'C were only growing as fast as wild larvae at ca 4.7"C (Hovenkamp 1990). Growth rates calculated from size-at-age data appear to be closely related to water temperature.…”

“…11 shows that the number of day-degrees for each stage was similar in all years, except for stage 2, which may have been due to the small sample size, and to the fact that age estimates are least reliable for the youngest stages because of the error made in estimating the initial age. Metamorphosis is a n important event in the Riley (1966) conducted experiments with plaice larvae at different feeding regimes. He found that larvae reared at the lowest food levels were very small, but that they metamorphosed only a short time later than well-fed larvae, and concluded that metamorphosis was controlled by temperature and age, rather than size.…”

Somatic growth, otolith growth and RNNDNA ratios of larval plaice were studied in the southern North Sea during the years 1987 to 1989. Somatic growth rates were strongly correlated with seawater temperature. Both otolith growth and RNAIDNA ratios were correlated with somatic growth. Age at metamorphosis declined with increasing temperature, but there was no relationshp between size at metamorphosis and temperature. Development seemed to be more related to temperature than to size. Large between-year differences were observed in the relationship between body size and otolith diameter. Otolith growth indces were used to compare back-calculated otolith growth between years or periods. In general growth was positively related to temperature, but early otolith growth was fastest at intermediate temperatures. It is proposed that the high temperature in 1989 had a negative effect on growth during the early larval stages, but a positive effect on the later stages.

“…The possible effects of food availability and the presence of predators on behaviour were examined by addition of these items to the experimental arenas to determine their effects on the expression of endogenously controlled behaviour in freshly caught fish. Newly hatched Artemia nauplii were used as food, since this is an organism on which the juvenile plaice (<30 mm in length) used here readily feed (Riley 1966, Wyatt 1972, while single brown shrimps Crangon crangon, the major cause of mortality in juvenile plaice of this size in the Wadden Sea (van der Veer & Bergman 1987), were used as predators.…”

The natural pattern over time of foraging and migration in juvenile plaice Pleuronectes platessa has evolved to enhance the survival of the fish. It is a product of endogenous rhythms and direct responses to biological and physical conditions, including their predators and prey. This study aimed to determine the relative roles of these influences through experimental manipulation of the physical and biological conditions. Infrared television cameras and illumination were used to observe freshly caught juvenile plaice in the light and dark over 24 h periods in arena tanks. Single Crangon crangon and Arternia nauplii were added to these tanks as predators and food respectively. The behaviour of juvenile plaice in the light was dominated by swimming on the sand surface, with little activity on the bottom during darkness. Most swimming on the bottom occurred 0 to 2 h after the expected tlme of high water. Activity in darkness largely comprised swimming In the water column or at the surface, with most swimming seen 2 to 4 h after high water. Off-bottom swlmming was also seen at this time in the light. Arlemia as prey reduced swimming on the bottom during the light period, but had no effect on off-bottom activity. The presence of single C. crangon in the tank had no discernible effect on behaviour. Different functions are proposed for pelagic and benthic swimming. Both may be used for migration while pelagic swimming may avoid predators on the bottom at night. Benthic swimming may be used for foraging.
