Estuarine spawning of the whitemouth croaker Micropogonias furnieri (Pisces : Sciaenidae), in the Río de la Plata, Argentina

Abstract: Most fishes that take advantage of the high productivity of estuaries exhibit offshore spawning, produce great numbers of small pelagic eggs and recruit to estuaries as larvae or juveniles. The reproductive pattern of Micropogonias furnieri (a planktonic egg spawner) in the Río de la Plata estuary (36°S,56°W) differs from this. Biological sampling and oceanographic data showed that the spawning area covers a narrow band across the river between Montevideo (34°50´8S,56°10´W) and Punta Piedras (35°25´S,57°10´W) … Show more

“…Both species reproduce in Río de la Plata estuary (34°S, 55°W to 36°30´S, 58°30´ W), which includes Samborombón Bay (35°27´S, 56°45´W to 36°22´S; 56°35´W) and the "El Rincón" area (39°S, 62°W to 39°30´S, 60°W) (Cassia and Booman, 1985;Díaz de Astarloa and Bolasina, 1992;Lasta and Acha, 1996;Lasta et al, 1998;Acha et al, 1999;Machi et al, 2003) (Fig. 1).…”

“…Las señales exógenas aseguran que el desarrollo gonadal se produzca en el momento adecuado para que el desove de los peces se realice cuando las condiciones sean favorables para la supervivencia de las crías. Las señales exógenas más comunes que desencadenan el desarrollo gonadal en los Although reproduction of whitemouth croaker, stripped weakfish, and king weakfish has received extensive attention (Cassia 1986;Macchi and Christiansen 1992;Macchi 1998;Macchi and Acha 1998;Acha et al 1999;Macchi et al 2003;Militelli andMacchi 2004, 2006), there have been no comparative studies among the members of the family in the area. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to examine the relation between sciaenid spawning females and environmental factors in order to describe the influence of environmental conditions on spawning location as part of the spawning strategy of these species in Argentine coastal waters.…”

“…The estuary is the main source of fresh water for the millions of inhabitants of the region, for whom it is also an important recreational area (DADÓN; MATTEUCCI, 2006). The RDP is also the nursery area of the white mouth croaker (Micropogonias furnieri) (JAUREGUIZAR et al, 2003(JAUREGUIZAR et al, , 2008, the species that represents the main coastal fishery of Argentina and Uruguay (ACHA et al, 1999;CAROZZA et al, 2004;JAUREGUIZAR et al, 2008). This estuary is characterized by great variability (SIMIONATO et al, 2004(SIMIONATO et al, , 2005ab, 2006b, , 2007b, , MECCIA et al, 2009, LUZ CLARA et al, 2014 mainly due to the high variability of the winds that blow over the region (SIMIONATO et al, 2005b) (Figure 1).…”
