东太平洋赤道附近海域茎柔鱼(Dosidicus gigas) 渔业生物学的初步研究

根据2011年东太平洋赤道附近海域探捕期间采集的1178尾茎柔鱼样本,进行了茎柔鱼的生物学特性研究。结果表明:茎柔鱼胴长范围为201—421mm,平均胴长为290mm,优势胴长为260—320mm;体重范围为200—2650g,平均体重为1000g,优势体重为600—1000g;胴长与体重关系呈幂指数关系;雌、雄性比为2.59:1;性腺成熟度以I、Ⅱ期为主;缠卵腺长和缠卵腺重随着性腺的成熟而逐步增大;雌性初次性成熟胴长为397.2mm;摄食等级以0—1级为主;与其它海域相比,该海域茎柔鱼个体差异明显,主要为小型群体。     

基于Voronoi图与空间自相关的西北太平洋柔鱼资源空间聚集特征分析

以西北太平洋柔鱼Ommastrephes bartramii为例,基于2007—2010年中国鱿钓船的生产统计原始点位数据,利用Voronoi图和空间自相关方法,评估柔鱼资源的全局空间模式、局部空间聚集特征,并以空间可视化方式呈现。在渔业资源及空间分析中,高产值聚集的海域称为空间热点,而低产值聚集的海域称为空间冷点。研究表明,全局自相关统计量Morans I和General G均指示了西北太平洋柔鱼资源的聚集分布状态。局部空间自相关显示,2007和2009年均具有2个热点和1个冷点区域,2008年具有1个热点和1个冷点区域,2010年具有1个热点和2个冷点区域,这些热冷点呈南北向或东西向分布态势。热冷点格局的叠加图显示,研究区内存在1个强热点、1个弱热点和1个强冷点,其中弱热点覆盖的区域在4年间表现为热点和冷点的交互变动。对7—11月平均海表温度和叶绿素a浓度的分析显示,热点和冷点均为中心渔场,热冷点形成的温度条件无显著差异;热冷点形成的叶绿素a浓度范围为0.2~1.1mg/m3,其中冷点区域的浓度相对较高。     

Age, maturation, and population structure of the Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zones

Age, maturation and population structure of the Humboldt squid Dosidicus gigas were studied based on random sampling of the Chinese jigging fishery off the Peruvian Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) during 2008–2010. Estimated ages ranged from 144 to 633 days, confirming that the squid is a short-lived species with longevity no longer than 2 years. Occurrence of mature females and hatching in each month indicated that Humboldt squid spawned year-round. Back-calculated hatching dates for the samples were from January 22^nd, 2008 to April 22^nd, 2010 with a peak between January and March. Two size-based and two hatching date-based populations could be defined from mantle length (ML) at maturity and back-calculated hatching dates, respectively. Females matured at a larger size than males, and there was a significant difference in ML at maturity between the two hatching groups (P <0.05). The waters adjacent to 11°S off the Peruvian EEZ may be a potential spawning ground. This study shows the complexity of the population structure and large variability in key life history parameters in the Humboldt squid off the Peruvian EEZ, which should be considered in the assessment and management of this important resource.
