“…3). In the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus), it has been suggested that individuals with high growth rates in their early life stages have a higher probability of survival and that this early growth determines the success or failure of recruitment (Meekan and Fortier, 1996;Takahashi et al, 2001;Takahashi and Watanabe, 2004;Takasuka et al, 2004). On the other hand, the results of the present study show that individuals of jack mackerel with slower growth rates could survive and be recruited successfully to the stock.…”

“…Growth of larval krill in their winter habitat refl ects their feeding history over the past three weeks to one month, and may be an indicator of their ability to survive, that is, better growth indicates higher survivorship than lower growth. Evidence for similar linkages has been found for larval fi sh; larvae in better condition will have lower mortality rates and hence lead to stronger year classes, all else being equal (Pepin, 1991;Ottersen and Loeng, 2000;Takahashi and Watanabe, 2004).…”

The 'growth-mortality' hypothesis, which holds that larger and/or faster growing individuals will have a higher probability of survival, currently includes 3 functional mechanisms (hypotheses) in its theoretical framework: 'bigger is better', 'stage duration' and the recently proposed 'growth-selective predation', which are based on size, time and per se growth rate, respectively. Through otolith microstructure analysis, we tested these 3 synergistic growth-related mechanisms according to growth characteristics of the survivors vs the original population in the short-term (ca. 2 wk) survival process of larval Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus in the 'shirasu' (larval anchovy) fishing ground in Sagami Bay, Japan. Back-calculated standard length (growth trajectory) and growth rate (growth history) were compared between the survivors (SV) captured on 18 July 2001 and the presumed original population (OP) captured on 1 and 5 July 2001. The larvae from SV were consistently smaller than the larvae from OP until at least the start of the ca. 2 wk survival process (1 July). Daily growth rates, however, were higher for SV than for OP at least at the start of the survival period. Therefore, faster growing individuals survived even if they were smaller than slowergrowing conspecifics. This was probably mediated by predation. Growth histories were generally similar between the metamorphosing larvae and non-metamorphosing larvae older than 40 d, the minimum age for metamorphosis, except for the period immediately after hatching. As such, we failed to detect a clear relationship between growth rates and the timing of metamorphosis (stage duration) as a whole. The results supported and extended the 'growth-selective predation' hypothesis but not the 'bigger is better' hypothesis. The 'stage duration' hypothesis was not unequivocally supported by the present findings.KEY WORDS: Growth rate · Otolith microstructure analysis · Short-term survival · Growth-selective predation hypothesis · Larval Japanese anchovyResale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher
