  • Understanding how the arrangement of marine habitats impacts nursery functions is crucial for managing and conserving important ecosystems.

  • The research indicates that while habitat availability affects L. punctulatus abundance and productivity, factors like size-selective mortality and prey quality play a key role in the growth and development of these fish, highlighting the need for a multifaceted approach in nursery identification.
