Previous studies tried do shed some light on these topics (i.e., Soeiro et al 2022); however, survival estimates, post-hatchling dispersal, high-density areas and habitat suitability for small oceanic juveniles have essentially relied on numerical simulations of particle distribution (Hays et al 2010, Casale and Mariani 2014, Maffucci et al 2016, Cardona and Hays 2018.…”
