“…For a variety of other juvenile rockfishes in California, growth rates range from 0.19 mm day −1 for yellowtail rockfish ( Sebastes flavidus ) to 0.97 mm day −1 for bocaccio ( Sebastes paucispinis ) (Woodbury and Ralston, 1991). In a nearshore nursery area, growth of the Japanese black rockfish ( Sebastes inermis ) ranged from 0.54 to 0.73 mm day −1 (Plaza et al. , 2010).…”

Nursery areas for juvenile fishes are often important for determining recruitment in marine populations by providing habitats that can maximize growth and thereby minimize mortality. Pacific ocean perch (POP, Sebastes alutus) have an extended juvenile period where they inhabit rocky nursery habitats. We examined POP nursery areas to link growth potential to recruitment. Juvenile POP were captured from nursery areas in 2004 and 2008, and estimated growth rates ranged from −0.19 to 0.60 g day−1 based on differences in size between June and August. Predicted growth rates from a bioenergetics model ranged from 0.05 to 0.49 g day−1 and were not significantly different than observed. Substrate preferences and the distribution of their preferred habitats were utilized to predict the extent of juvenile POP nursery habitat in the Gulf of Alaska. Based on densities of fish observed on underwater video transects and the spatial extent of nursery areas, we predicted 278 and 290 million juvenile POP were produced in 2004 and 2008. Growth potential for juvenile POP was reconstructed using the bioenergetics model, spring zooplankton bloom timing and duration and bottom water temperature for 1982–2008. When a single outlying recruitment year in 1986 was removed, growth potential experienced by juvenile POP in nursery areas was significantly correlated to the recruitment time‐series from the stock assessment, explaining ∼30% of the variability. This research highlights the potential to predict recruitment using habitat‐based methods and provides a potential mechanism for explaining some of the POP recruitment variability observed for this population.

“…However, studies in non-enclosed bays, such as Sendai Bay, have been limited. In addition, because Sendai Bay provides important fishing grounds (Omori, 1979) and favorable nursery grounds for fish (Yamashita et al, 1996;Oshima et al, 2010;Plaza et al, 2010;Narimatsu et al, 2013), it was supposed that the disturbance induced by the 2011 tsunami seriously affected the fish assemblages in Sendai Bay. We conducted demersal fish surveys on the sandy shore of Sendai Bay during 2004-2010 before the tsunami.…”

We examined the effects of the 11 March 2011 tsunami event on demersal fish assemblages in the shallow (3–17 m) waters of Sendai Bay, Japan. Fish samples were obtained during the 7 yr before the tsunami, the year of the tsunami (2011), and in two subsequent years (2012–2013) using an identical sampling procedure. During the 10 yr, 5757 fish from 70 taxa were sampled during 301 tows. Although the tsunami reached 6 m in height in Sendai Bay, fish abundance, diversity, and species composition in samples immediately after the tsunami (2011) and in 2012–2013 were generally within the range of variability observed over the previous 7 yr (2004–2010). Moreover, the percent occurrence of species varied during the sampling period, but the composition of the dominant species after the tsunami was similar to that before the tsunami. Only the small dragonet species Eleutherochir mirabilis decreased in abundance in 2011 among the dominant taxa, although their abundance recovered in 2012 and 2013. Furthermore, Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, increased in abundance after 2011. The reasons for these minimal effects on the shallow water demersal fish community are unclear. We can only speculate that the limited changes to habitat and the mobility of fish may have enabled the high survival rate of the shallow water fish assemblages in Sendai Bay during and after the tsunami. Thus, we conclude that the fish assemblages of the shallow sandy shore were highly resistant and resilient to unusual and extreme perturbations.
