Abstract
This thesis focuses on these raised concerns and attempts to refine the modelling approach used to test the WTH. This is achieved by investigating squid paralarval survival and their specific gravity using aquarium experiments together with an improved ocean model and IBM. The influence of temperature on yolk utilization was assessed through experimentation. Tank experiments found that yolk utilization rates in chokka squid paralarvae are directly affected by temperature with faster rates at high temperature and slower rates at low temperature.
