  abstract = {{S}ix cohorts of the silver-stripe round herring {S}pratelloides gracilis, a fast-growing and short-lived tropical clupeid, were collected as juveniles and then as adults during austral summers from {N}ovember to {F}ebruary in 1998-1999 and 1999-2000, using light traps in the {D}ampier {A}rchipelago, {W}estern {A}ustralia. {O}tolith analysis allowed backcalculation of size and growth rate at age to examine the relative influences of selective mortality and water temperature on early growth. {N}egative size-selective mortality and growth-selective mortality between the juvenile and the adult stages was found only in the cohort that was the smallest and slowest growing in the period immediately following hatching. {S}elective mortality preferentially removed members of this cohort that were smaller from age 0 to 15 days, and slower growing from 0 to 10 days, resulting in an elevation of size at age to, or even above, that of cohorts that had not undergone this process. {S}ize and growth rate at 5 day age intervals in the first 20 days after hatching differed among cohorts within and between summers and were strongly and positively correlated (r(2) = 0.61-0.83) with water temperature.},
