Year-class strength in fish populations frequently follows an erratic pattern. However, predictable cyclic fluctuations in recruitment have been reported in a number of instances. In fish in which a single age-class is responsible for all or most of the production of eggs, a cycle may be set up with a period equal to the time taken to reach maturity. Moreover, density-dependence may act through fecundity or via survival of eggs or fish subject to interactions with predators or competitors. This paper reviews examples of cyclic variation in year-class strength and discusses the range of underlying causes.
