The upper panel shows the probability density function (PDF) of cumulative survival through the year. The slope of the PDF indicates the time period of importance to the cumulative yearly survival. In Lofoten, a short time window during spring accrues most of the cumulative survival during the year, while on Georges Bank, the slope is more continuous suggesting that a longer time window when high growth and survival rates are possible. The lower panel shows the average probability (%) of larval cod survival from hatching to age 30 days in warm (red) and cold (blue) years at four different spawning locations in the North Atlantic. The black thick lines indicate the time-period when larval fish 0–30 days old are observed in the water column.
