When groups of fish inhabit different environments during early life this may produce variation in pre- and post-settlement growth which is recorded in the otolith, providing a useful marker of larval and juvenile origin. In the present study we describe the early growth of Pleuronectes platessa on Irish and Scottish nursery grounds.
