The general distribution pattern and mixing probability of Baltic sprat juvenile populations

In addition, this analysis identifies the potential for advective mixing between juveniles originating from different spawning sites or from the same spawning site throughout the spawning season. High spatial overlap was found between Arkona- and Bornholm Basin larvae hatched at the beginning of the spawning season. Mixing probability of sprat juveniles between Arkona- and Gotland Basin as well as between Bornholm- and Gotland Basin were on relatively low levels.
