Zusammenfassung |
A total of 8459 larval fish were collected from the southern East China Sea
during the winter northeasterly monsoon season and the summer southwesterly
monsoon season of 2008. The larvae comprised 184 species belonging to 105
families and 162 genera. The abundance in terms of CPUE (number of
individuals/1000 m3) of the larvae was approximately 6 times higher
during the southwesterly monsoon season than it was during the northeasterly
monsoon season. The primary environmental factors affecting the larval
abundance were water temperature during the northeasterly monsoon season, and
food availability during the southwesterly monsoon season. Three larval fish
assemblages were recognized: inshore assemblage, offshore assemblage, and
summer coastal assemblage. The distribution and species composition of the
larvae in the assemblages reflected the hydrographic conditions and water
currents resulting from the seasonal monsoons. |
