Abstract
The relationship between rate of development of eastern Pacific cod eggs and water temperature was found to be linear at temperatures of 5–11 °C. Time to 50% hatching ranged from 8.5 days at 11 °C to 17 days at 5 °C. Most successful hatching occurred at the lowest temperature. Newly hatched larvae from 5° water had an average length of 4.45 mm.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
