Limecola balthica. Relationship between size of adult stock (nm−2 of individuals of at least 1.8 years old, as assessed in late winter) and abundance of recruits (nm−2, plotted on 10log scale) that were born in the subsequent summer, as assessed in a the subsequent summer, after about 0.3 year of benthic life, and b 1 year later at an age of 1.3 years. Means of data collected at 15 sampling sites. One point for each of 41 cohorts; periods of birth indicated: (solid squares) 1976–1994, (open circles) 1995–2003, and (crosses) 2004–2015 (or 2016)
