Resumo(s)
The breeding season of Nerophis lumbriciformis, a cold water pipefish, was positively correlated
with seawater temperatures <15 5 C, whilst recruitment occurred at the end of the upwelling
season, when seawater temperature attained its maximum values. The observed alterations in
seawater temperatures, with steady year-round increases, and the consequent alteration of the
upwelling regime, may have dramatic consequences in the maintenance of N. lumbriciformis
populations, by reducing the breeding period and simultaneously contributing to the transport
of pelagic larvae northwards due to specific sea currents that occur outside the upwelling
season.
