Fish larvae were collected during the night using a MIK (Methot Isaac Kidd) net (2m diameter, 500 um mesh). Abundances were expressed in term of number of individuals per 5000 cubic meter (ind.5000m-3). For clupeidae (herring and pilchard), gobiidae and ammodytidae, abundances were log-transformed (log10(x+1)) prior to analysis whereas for pleuronectidae and syngnathidae, abundances were recoded in term of presence-absence.
