“…The seasonal pattern of larval occurrence has been described for the western Atlantic (Ditty et al, 1994;Kitchens and Rooker, 2014), coinciding with further records by other authors (Wells and Rooker, 2009;Habtes et al, 2014). These patterns have also been described in non-tropical areas of the western Pacific (Ozawa and Tsukahara, 1971;Yoo et al, 1999;Huh et al, 2013;Park et al, 2017), the central Pacific (Hyde et al, 2005), the eastern Pacific (Norton, 1999;Sánchez, 2008) and E-SW Australia (Kingsford and Defries, 1999). The few published larval records in the Mediterranean Sea come from the NW and central Mediterranean and were captured in spring and early summer.…”

The common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is an epipelagic thermophilic species with a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions that is characterized by its migratory behavior and fast growth rates. This species is targeted by artisanal smallscale and recreational fisheries in most regions where it is found. This paper updates and analyzes the global scientific knowledge on the biology and ecology of this species, which was last revised at a regional level 20 years ago. This review showed an increase in knowledge about the population structure and regional differences in biological traits, in parallel with a notable lack of mechanistic and even empirical knowledge about the ecology of this species, which hampers a good understanding of the population dynamics and the potential impacts of environmental change. This paper also updates the information about the Mediterranean dolphinfish fishery, where the main four countries that exploit this species deploy 30% of fish aggregation devices (FAD) worldwide. The results suggest, among other effects, some temporal synchronicity in landings across countries, potential interannual stock movement affecting inter-country catches, diverging trends in prices and insufficient quality in the estimates of fishing effort. The authors propose a suite of specific measures to ameliorate this lack of knowledge and to better manage this complex living resource.

“…These offshore occurrences are likely explained by the expansion of the warm Tsushima current into the northern East Sea/Sea of Japan during summer when water temperatures exceed 22.2°C. Huh, Choi, Baeck, Kim, and Park () also collected larvae of several subtropical fish species, such as Chromis notatus and Scomber japonicus , during the warm seasons in this region.…”

“…Most larval gobies have been found in brackish and/or coastal waters, often constituting the dominant larval fish group in the estuarine waters of Korea [24][25][26], as well as other estuaries globally [50,51]. Board ichthyoplankton surveys throughout coastal and offshore waters in Korean seas have shown that larval gobies are only abundant near coastal areas, including estuaries, but exhibit rare abundances or are nearly absent in offshore waters, especially in the East Sea and Korea Strait [52][53][54]. Most Gobiidae species are amphidromous and estuarine resident [51], and their larvae belong to the brackish water ecological guild [5], whereas E. japonicus is a typical marine larval species.…”

Estuaries are crucial fish nursery habitats owing to their high productivity and the presence of various microhabitats for the early development of aquatic organisms. This study investigated the temporal and spatial patterns of the species composition and abundance of larval fish assemblages in the Nakdong River estuary, South Korea, through bi-monthly sampling in the inner and outer estuaries. Fifty-five larval taxa were collected, and the larval fish assemblages were dominated by a few species. Engraulis japonicus (28.8%) was the most abundant, followed by Gobiidae sp.1 (22.6%), Clupea pallasii (13.9%), and Omobranchus sp. (6.1%). The species richness, abundance, and diversity tended to be higher during the warm season in the inner estuary. Multivariate analyses revealed that the structures of larval fish assemblages were significantly influenced by the season and site. Spatial and seasonal changes in larval fish assemblages resulted from the different occurrence patterns of common fish larvae in relation to water temperature and salinity. Among the predominant fish larvae, E. japonicus was captured more frequently in more saline outer estuaries during the warm season, whereas Gobiidae sp.1 and C. pallasii were more abundant in less saline inner estuaries during the warm and cold seasons, respectively. The results of this study improve our understanding of larval biodiversity in estuarine habitats in relation to environmental modification and contribute to the evaluation of nursery functions in the Nakdong River estuary.
