Abstract
⺠C. rubrum is an overexploited Mediterranean species in need of management. ⺠The early life-history of this precious species is largely unknown. ⺠We examined recruitment, early mortality and colony growth in 3 geographic areas. ⺠We found 2-3 fold higher colony growth rates in the first years of colony life. ⺠Different early population dynamics are at work in different geographic areas.
