  abstract = {{A} particle-tracking individual-based model ({IBM}) coupled with a 3-{D} hydrodynamic model was used to investigate how spatial variability in spawning and nursery grounds may influence transport and retention of sardine ({S}ardinops sagax) eggs and larvae in the southern {B}enguela ecosystem. {A} temperature-dependent {B}elehradek development model based on laboratory growth data was used to determine the duration of one egg and two larval stages. {S}uccessful transport/retention depended on each particle's stage of development rather than its age. {R}esults show that recruitment could occur in two distinct nursery areas on the west and south coasts of {S}outh {A}frica. {T}hree viable recruitment 'systems' were identified: two are retention-based (spawned and retained on the west coast ({WC}-{WC}) or the south coast ({SC}-{SC}) and one is transport-based (spawned on the south coast and transported to the west coast ({SC}-{WC}). {I}n the {WC}-{WC} system, the vertical distribution of eggs influenced retention; at intermediate depths of spawning (25-50 m) eggs avoided both offshore {E}kman drift and deep cold water. {I}n the {SC}-{SC} system, the area of spawning was important; > 50% of eggs from the eastern {A}gulhas {B}ank ({EAB}) were retained in the south coast nursery grounds, whereas very few eggs were transported there from west of {C}ape {A}gulhas. {I}n the {SC}-{WC} system, area of spawning was also important; 40% of the eggs spawned on the western {A}gulhas {B}ank ({WAB}) were transported to the west coast nursery ground. {S}ardine life history strategy could be divided between two main systems: the west coast system (spawning on the {WAB} and {WC}, and recruiting to the {WC}) and the {A}gulhas {B}ank system (spawning on the central and eastern {A}gulhas {B}ank, and recruiting to the {SQ}.
