We estimated life history parameters of a clupeid forage fish, Opisthonema medirastre, by sampling juveniles over the course of a year in the central region of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. We collected 160 juveniles on the south coast of Santa Cruz Island during the wet/warm season that were 16-48 mm standard length, 30-88 days old, had hatched at the beginning of the wet/warm season, and had grown at 0.4 mm day-1 . Our results suggest that in Galápagos, O. medirastre reproduce during the wet/warm season mostly under neutral ENSO conditions. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
