Abstract
The symposium was supported financially by Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A), (B) and (C) (KAKENHI No. 26252031, 24380107 and 26450275, respectively) from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and by the Japan Fisheries Research and Education Agency. An earlier version of this manuscript benefited from insightful comments from Edward D. Houde and Thomas J. Miller. We dedicate this study to the late Louis Fortier (1953–2020), a colleague, friend and source of inspiration, who made numerous key contributions to our knowledge of larval fish ecology, including the role of growth-selective mortality on larval fish survival.
