cohort

Group of fish in a stock which were generated during the same spawning season and are born at the same time. In cold and temperate areas, where fish are long-lived, a cohort corresponds usually to a year class. In the tropics, where fish tend to be short-lived, cohorts may refer to shorter time intervals (e.g. spring cohort, autumn cohort, monthly cohorts).
