Patterns of distribution, abundance, and life history characteristics of the species Aidrichetta forsteri (Yellow-eyed mullet) are researched from 13 estuaries/harbours in New Zealand. Includes: biogeography, spatial patterns of abundance and relationship to abiotic (e.g. environmental), and biotic (e.g. density-dependent interactions, dispersal) factors, sex-ratios, and size structure, growth and mortality.
