Description
Because of the large biomass of North Pacific arrowtooth flounder, this species will likely come under increased fishing pressure. The authors link otolith traits to life history stages, estimate fish length and dates of hatch, determine duration of planktonic stage, describe growth rates, and discuss variability in reproduction timing.
