There can be several causes of death among the fish in a population: removals by man (fishing), predation, disease, accidents, etc., each with its own rate. In practice[,] we usually consider a division into only two types: fishing, and natural mortality (which includes everything else). ... When fishing and natural mortality act concurrently, they are competing for the same fish, so the conditional mortality rates cannot be added. However, an expectation of death can easily be computed for each cause of mortality ... 2, record 1, English, - expectation%20of%20death

Il peut y avoir plusieurs causes de mortalité chez une population de poissons : retrait par l'homme(pêche), prédation, maladie, accidents, etc., chaque cause agissant selon un taux particulier. En pratique, nous divisons habituellement ces causes en deux types seulement :[la] pêche et [la] mortalité naturelle(pour toute cause autre que la pêche). [...] Quand [la] pêche et [la] mortalité naturelle agissent simultanément, elles sont en concurrence pour le même poisson et, par conséquent, les taux conditionnels de mortalité ne sauraient s’additionner. Toutefois, une prévision de mortalité peut facilement être calculée pour chaque cause [...] 2, record 1, French, - pr%C3%A9vision%20de%20mortalit%C3%A9

The larval stage bottleneck can occur over a short "critical period" ... due to starvation following yolk absorption, or over a more protracted period from hatch to metamorphosis. … While the positive link found in all taxa between feeding success and growth supports the current larval growth-survival paradigm, the much stronger association between these vital rates combined to the higher growth serial correlation in fast-growing species indicate that the potential for a "critical period" during the first-feeding stage could be [highest] in fast-growing fish ... 1, record 2, English, - first%20feeding%20stage

Lors du premier cycle, le taux de survie larvaire peut être faible : en début d’année, la température est basse, l'alimentation et la croissance peuvent en être ralenties, et les larves de poisson exposées plus longtemps à la prédation. Au cours de son second cycle, le taux de survie est faible au début; il s’élève ensuite, lorsque la nourriture devient disponible en grandes quantités. Ainsi, les larves au stade de première alimentation courraient les plus grands risques. 1, record 2, French, - stade%20de%20premi%C3%A8re%20alimentation
