“…oualaniensis is a squid with a short life cycle, its abundance was extremely vulnerable to anomalous environmental conditions. SSW was at its maximum in early March 2008, when SST was the lowest (expressed by dotted boxes in Fig 6), which might have been related to the La Niña event in early 2008 and local circulation anomalies in the north-central SCS [45, 46]. The La Niña event formed in August 2007 and ended in April 2008, during which time sea temperature in the middle-eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean and the SCS was partially low [45].…”

In the South China Sea (SCS), Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis (S. oualaniensis) generally has the highest stock density in spring and occupies an important position in fisheries. The responses of S. oualaniensis to marine environments in the north-central SCS in spring (March to May) from 2006 to 2010 were analyzed using satellite and in situ observations, with generalized additive models (GAMs). A high proportion variation in catch per unit effort (CPUE) was explained by environmental variables, including sea surface temperature (SST; explaining 13.8%) and the interaction between SST and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentration (explaining 16.9%). SSTs within the range of 24–28°C and Chl-a concentrations within 0.10–0.35 mg/m3 had positive effects on S. oualaniensis CPUE, and SST within 28–29.5°Cand Chl-a concentrations within 0.05–0.20 mg/m3 had negative effects. In addition, the response time of the maximum standardized catch per unit effort (SCPUE) in May to the maximum Chl-a in March was approximately six ten-day time step. The higher Chl-a and smaller stock size of S. oualaniensis in early March 2008 were partly associated with climatic anomalies caused by La Niña in spring and the limitation of S. oualaniensisby low temperature in 2008. The findings in this study can help better protect and manage S. oualaniensis resources in the SCS.

“…The software R v.4.0.0 (R Development Core Team, 2020) was used to spatially fuse and match SST, SSS, Chl a, and fishery data, and ArcGIS 10.3 (Esri, Redlands, CA, USA) was used to plot the distribution of the flow field and NPP. Data fusion for the remote sensing data with different resolutions could be derived through the following algorithm [34]:…”

The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is one of the major fishing grounds for the squid Uroteuthis chinensis. Taking that into consideration, this study analyzes the environmental effects on the spatiotemporal variability of U. chinensis in the PRE, on the basis of the Generalized Additive Model (GAM) and Clustering Fishing Tactics (CFT), using satellite and in situ observations. Results show that 63.1% of the total variation in U. chinensis Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) in the PRE could be explained by looking into outside factors. The most important one was the interaction of sea surface temperature (SST) and month, with a contribution of 26.7%, followed by the interaction effect of depth and month, fishermen’s fishing tactics, sea surface salinity (SSS), chlorophyll a concentration (Chl a), and year, with contributions of 12.8%, 8.5%, 7.7%, 4.0%, and 3.1%, respectively. In summary, U. chinensis in the PRE was mainly distributed over areas with an SST of 22–29 °C, SSS of 32.5–34‰, Chl a of 0–0.3 mg × m−3, and water depth of 40–140 m. The distribution of U. chinensis in the PRE was affected by the western Guangdong coastal current, distribution of marine primary productivity, and variation of habitat conditions. Lower stock of U. chinensis in the PRE was connected with La Niña in 2008.

The spatiotemporal distribution of fishing grounds in the Beibu Gulf and its relationship with marine environment were analyzed using the survey data of light falling-net vessels and satellite remote sensing data including sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll a concentration (Chl a) and net primary production (NPP), based on the generalized additive model (GAM) and the center of gravity (COG) of fishing grounds. The results showed that the total deviance explained by GAM for the catch per unit effort (CPUE) in the Beibu Gulf was 42.9%, in which SST was the most important influencing factor on CPUE, with a relative contribution of 40%; followed by latitude, Chl a, month and NPP, with relative contributions of 25.2%, 19%, 10.4% and 5.4%, respectively. Fishing grounds in the Beibu Gulf were mainly distributed in waters with SST of 27–29 °C, Chl a of 0.5–1.5 mg m−3 and NPP of 500–700 mg m−2 d−1. Light falling-net fishing grounds were concentrated in waters with latitude of 18.5° N and 20–20.25° N. There was a significant correlation between the mean latitude of optimum NPP and the latitudinal COG of CPUE, with the R2 being 0.91. These were connected with environmental factors such as the northeast monsoon that began in autumn and winter, warm pools near 19° N and local upwelling in the Beibu Gulf.
