Dear Marin:
I examined this issue in my dissertation and in an un published paper. Many estuarine fish move into deeper water with increasing size. There are some publications on this issue, including Linda Deegan's classic paper on gulf menhaden. Some unpublished materials can be found on my web page below.
Regards,
