Age structure: This is an important factor in assessing the reproductive potential of the stock because: ... older [fish] produce more eggs; ... the presence of a range of age classes may prevent wide fluctuations in recruitment; ... in some species, a broad age-structure, with several year classes, may be necessary to provide a stable level of both catches and egg production. 2, record 1, English, - age%20structure

Structure par âge : Il s'agit d'un facteur important pour évaluer le potentiel de reproduction du stock étant donné que les [poissons] plus âgés produisent plus d'œufs; la présence de diverses classes d'âge peut empêcher qu'il y ait de grandes fluctuations dans le recrutement; chez certaines espèces, une structure par âge élargie, comportant plusieurs classes d'âge, peut être nécessaire pour assurer à la fois la stabilité des prises et de la production d'œufs. 4, record 1, French, - structure%20par%20%C3%A2ge
