Why was inshore capelin (Mallotus villosus) spawning delayed during 1991? / by J. Carscadden, K.T. Frank, and B.S. Nakashima.: Fs70-8/92-61E-PDF
"The water temperatures in the Newfoundland-Labrador area during 1991 were anomalously cold and the spawning of capelin on Newfoundland east and northeast coast beaches was delayed one month. This paper explored the relationship between time of spawning and water temperature and mean size of fish in the population. There was a significant negative relationship between day of spawning, as measured by day of the year that 25,000 lb of cumulative catch was recorded in capelin trap nets, and May water temperature, 0-20 m, at Station 27 (1983-91)"--Abstract, page 1.
