Frontal jet currents transport eggs and larvae toward the west coast of South Africa, where recruitment takes place. To characterise the recruitment dynamics of Cape anchovy ichthyoplankton, we used an individual-based model forced by a coupled hydrodynamic-biogeochemical model. The results show the importance of food (especially diatoms and copepods) dynamics on the spatial and temporal patterns of recruitment success, and also confirm the importance of the spawning area, timing and water depth on the recruitment success of Cape anchovy larvae. specialized 3-D modelling IBM model pelagic ecosystem AFRIQUE DU SUD ATLANTIQUE SUD 036 020 35 2 151-161 2013 1814-232X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010060643 10.2989/1814232x.2013.796893 1814-232X [F B010060643] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010060643 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2013/10/010060643.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2013-11-04 2017-08-23 fdi:010060643 fre
