  abstract = {{I}mportant environmental processes for the survival and recruitment of early life stages of pelagic fishes have been synthesized through {B}akun's fundamental triad as enrichment, concentration and retention processes ({A}. {B}akun, 1996, {P}atterns in the {O}cean. {O}cean {P}rocesses and {M}arine {P}opulation {D}ynamics. {S}an {D}iego, {CA}, {USA}: {U}niversity of {C}alifornia {S}ea {G}rant). {T}his conceptual framework states that from favourable spawning habitats, eggs and larvae would be transported to and/or retained in places where food originating from enrichment areas would be concentrated. {W}e propose a method for quantifying two of the triad processes, enrichment and retention, based on the {L}agrangian tracking of particles transported within water velocity fields generated by a three-dimensional hydrodynamic model. {W}e apply this method to the southern {B}enguela upwelling ecosystem, constructing putative maps of enrichment and retention. {W}e comment on these maps regarding main features of the circulation in the region, and investigate seasonal variability of the processes. {W}e finally discuss the results in relation to available knowledge on the reproductive strategies of two pelagic clupeoid species abundant in the southern {B}enguela, anchovy ({E}ngraulis encrasicolus) and sardine ({S}ardinops sagax). {O}ur approach is intended to be sufficiently generic so as to allow its application to other upwelling systems.},
