Abstract
    Along the marine, sandy coast of the Netherlands between Wassenaar and Egmond, large recruitment to the adult stock of Crangon crangon occurs annually in September-November. This recruitment is the result of settlement in this area of postlarval C. crangon in late May-July. This short and sharply defined period of settlement contrasts with the situation in Dutch estuarine nursery areas, where large-scale settlement occurs in April-October. The coastal zone Wassenaar-Egmond is strongly eutrophicated by river water sluiced at Hook of Holland. The settlement of C. crangon is linked with a bloom of calanoid copepods in May-July. Calanoid copepods are here the major food item for C. crangon of 10-20 mm and these pelagic organisms form a practically unlimited food supply for bottom-dwelling shrimps. Predation on juvenile C. crangon is light in May-July, because predation by 0-group fish becomes significant not earlier than August. Due to the unlimited food supply and low level of predation, recruitment to the adult stock in autumn depends to a large extent on the abundance of ripe eggs in this area in May-July. In 1978-84, the yield of ripe eggs stayed constant until densities at least five times higher than the observed minimum level.
