Figure 3

Averaged adult density of the wild population (\(\hbox {m}^3\,\hbox {m}^{-2}\)) at year 20 over \(r_K\), the carrying capacity ratio, for 4 levels of external recruitment (orange—R = 0 \(\hbox {larvae m}^{-2}\), green—R = 20 \(\hbox {larvae m}^{-2}\), blue—R = 200 \(\hbox {larvae m}^{-2}\), purple—R = 2000 \(\hbox {larvae m}^{-2}\)) with, from the left to the right, no spawning event (None), spawning events every 5 years (Five ), and annual spawning events (Annual). \(r_K=1\) corresponds to the maximum carrying capacity and \(r_K=0.5\) to 50% of the maximum carrying capacity.
