Dear Richard,
Have you tried the BIOTIC website for biological traits set up by MarLIN
(The Marine Life Information Network for Britain and Ireland)? see link
below;
http://www.marlin.ac.uk/biotic/browse.php?sp=6106
This database holds life-history information for a wide number of
species so it would definitely be worth checking out, they also list key
references which may be of further use. If you manage to find more
specific information and or additional references, I'm sure the MarLIN
team would be very pleased to hear about them so perhaps you could send
the results of your literature mining to Sean Lindsley-leake
<mbavis13 from MBA.ac.uk>.
Best Regards
Bryony
