A fine-scale multi-step approach to understand fish recruitment variability

Abstract: Recruitment is one of the dominant processes regulating fish population productivity. It is, however, notoriously difficult to predict, as it is the result of a complex multi-step process. Various fine-scale drivers might act on the pathway from adult population characteristics to spawning behaviour and egg production, and then to recruitment. Here, we provide a holistic analysis of the Northwest Atlantic mackerel recruitment process from 1982 to 2017 and exemplify why broad-scale recruitment–environment relat… Show more

“…Furthermore, the significant cross-correlation between the Chl-a and small pelagic fish catch had a time lag of one-year (11-13 months), which can be attributed to the larvae of fish often reaching their first feeding stage at approximately the same time that phytoplankton blooms occur [35,36]. Strong downwelling (upwelling) during nIOD (pOD) phases causes low (high) Chl-a, which may result in decrease (increase) fish recruitment through the match (mismatch) [37,38], because the key element in larval survival is often the availability of food [39,40]. Availability of plankton in sufficient quantities at the right spatiotemporal scale enhances the larval survival rate.…”

“…Availability of plankton in sufficient quantities at the right spatiotemporal scale enhances the larval survival rate. Further investigation is necessary to understand how the enhanced phytoplankton production during pIOD and other relevant environmental drivers interacts with the life cycle and influences the recruitment of the small pelagic fish and the interannual variability of the fish catch, in the Palabuhanratu Bay [37,38].…”

“…Furuichi et al (2020) hypothesized that the eggs spawned away from Kyushu Island tended to be transported to the offshore area because of the flow patterns of the TWC. Hence, inhabiting the offshore area might be achieved by passive transportation during the egg and larval stages (Ito et al, 2009; Kasai et al, 1997) and thus may favor sardine early life stages survival and recruitment due to favorable feeding conditions (Nishikawa et al, 2013; also see Ferreira et al, 2020; Brosset et al, 2020 for other fish species). Otherwise, the juvenile sardine could actively migrate to the offshore area from the coastal area.…”

“…Since the maturity of juvenile sardine in the next spring depends on the nutritional condition during the summer (Morimoto, 2010; Yoneda et al, 2013), food availability is an important factor to elucidate their population dynamics (Brosset et al, 2020; Ferreira et al, 2020). The offshore area could allow the sardine to store more lipids while maintaining a higher growth rate because the mass‐specific metabolic rate is generally lower for bigger individuals than for smaller ones (Post & Lee, 1996).…”
