McGill, and Laval Universities who assisted with the 

 field work. Special thanks are merited by L. Natanson 

 for her contribution to the organization and devel- 

 opment of the sampling progi-am, to T. Miller for sup- 

 plying measurements of larval fish standard length 

 based on video recordings at sea, G. Chaumillon, L. 

 Fortier, and J. Himmelman for comments on the 

 manuscript, J. Butler for allowing access to his im- 

 age analyzer, and to two anonymous reviewers who 

 critically reviewed the manuscript and offered many 

 helpful suggestions. L. Michaud and M.-A. Remillard 

 assisted in the laboratory. The officers and crew of 

 the RV Petrel V provided excellent assistance during 

 the execution of the field work.
