Modeling transport and survival of anchoveta eggs and yolk-sac larvae in the coastal zone off central-southern Chile: Assessing spatial and temporal spawning parameters

► Use of a coupled individual-based model for early stages of anchoveta for 2004. ► Model examine the influence of spawning parameters on transport and survival. ► Spatial-temporal spawning parameters modulate the survival of eggs and larvae. ► Simulated distribution fit well observed data for some of spawning areas. ► A conceptual model is proposed and discussed potential of model tools.
