Este trabajo presenta una nueva aproximación al diagnóstico de la sobrepesca de reclutamiento. Nuestra hipótesis consiste en que la condición de los reclutas debe aumentar cuando suceden fallos en el reclutamiento debidos a la actividad pesquera. Esto sería una consecuencia del incremento en la disponibilidad de recursos tróficos debido a que la población es más reducida que la que el ecosistema podría soportar. Se calcularon series temporales de condición de reclutas de merluza a partir de datos recogidos en las campañas MEDITS en las sub-áreas geográficas (GSAs) 1, 6, 17 y 19 entre los años 1994 y 2015. Se utilizó la regresión lineal múltiple para analizar la relación entre la condición media anual y la abundancia de reclutas e índices climáticos en cada GSA. Solo se detectaron correlaciones significativas en la GSA 6, dónde el 69% de la variabilidad en la condición se explica por la correlación negativa con la abundancia de reclutas, y con dos índices climáticos, la Oscilación del Mediterráneo Occidental y la anomalía estandarizada de la temperatura del aire en superficie en el Golfo de León. A pesar de las diferencias en la abundancia de reclutas entre GSAs, su condición anual media osciló alrededor de un mismo valor basal durante la mayor parte de la serie temporal, sugiriendo que las tasas de mortalidad denso-dependiente son un mecanismo importante para la estabilización del reclutamiento de merluza en niveles próximos a la capacidad de carga cuando las poblaciones no sufren sobrepesca de reclutamiento. Este patrón cambió cuando la tendencia decreciente de la abundancia de reclutas elevó los valores de condición en la GSA 6 por encima de los del resto de GSAs de forma persistente. De acuerdo con nuestra hipótesis, la merluza de la GSA 6 se encuentra en sobrepesca de reclutamiento.
