Does large-scale ocean circulation structure life history connectivity in Antarctic toothfish?

چکیده
A multidisciplinary approach incorporating otolith chemistry, age data, and numerical Lagrangian particle simulations indicated a single, self-recruiting population of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) in the Southeast Pacific Basin (SPB) and Ross Sea, with a life history structured by the large-scale circulation. Chemistry deposited prior to capture along otolith edges demonstrated strong environmental heterogeneity, yet the chemistry in otolith nuclei, deposited during early life, showed no differences. Age data showed only adult fish in catches on the Pacific–Antarctic Ridge in the SPB and structuring of life stages consistent with transport pathways from the northern Ross Sea. Lagrangian particle simulations predicted that early life stages following the flow in the SPB would be transported to areas in the Ross Sea where juveniles are caught, whereas the circulation would facilitate adult movement along the shelf slope and back into the SPB where spawning adults are caught. These results suggest that successfully spawning fish spend only a part of their adult life history in the Ross Sea, areas in the eastern Ross Sea contribute disproportionately to the spawning population, and areas in the southwestern Ross Sea may supply fisheries in the southern Indian Ocean. Résumé : Une approche multidisciplinaire combinant la chimie des otolites, des données sur l’âge et des simulations lagrangiennes du transport de particules indique qu’il n’y aurait qu’une seule population auto-recrutante de légine antarctique (Dissostichus mawsoni) dans le bassin du sud-est du Pacifique (SPB) et la mer de Ross, dont le cycle biologique serait structuré par la circulation à grande échelle. Si la chimie des pourtours d’otolites déposés avant la capture témoigne d’une grande hétérogénéité du milieu ambiant, celle des noyaux d’otolites, déposés dans les premiers stades de la vie des poissons, ne présente aucune variation. Les données sur l’âge n’indiquent que la présence de poissons adultes dans les prises au-dessus de la dorsale Pacifique–Antarctique dans le SPB et une structuration des stades du cycle de vie qui concorde avec des voies de transport issues de la mer de Ross. Les simulations lagrangiennes de particules prédisent que les légines à des stades de vie précoces qui suivent le courant dans le SPB seraient transportées vers des zones de la mer de Ross caractérisées par la prise de juvéniles, alors que la circulation faciliterait le mouvement des adultes le long du talus du plateau pour ensuite retourner dans le SPB où sont capturés des adultes en frai. Ces résultats suggèrent que les poissons qui réussissent à se reproduire passent seulement une partie de leur vie adulte dans la mer de Ross, qu’une part disproportionnée de la population reproductrice provient de régions de l’est de la mer de Ross et que des régions du sud-ouest de la mer de Ross pourraient contribuer aux ressources halieutiques dans le sud de l’océan Indien.

متن کاملMolecular diversity and genomic organisation of the α, β and γ eye lens crystallins from the Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni
The eye lens of the Antarctic toothfish living in the −2 °C Southern Ocean is cold-stable. To investigate the molecular basis of this cold stability, we isolated, cloned and sequenced 22 full length crystallin cDNAs. We found two α crystallins (αA, αB), six β crystallins (βA1, βA2, βA4, βB1, βB2, βB3) and 14 γ crystallins (γN, γS1, γS2, γM1, γM3, γM4, γM5, γM7, γM8a, γM8b, γM8c, γM8d, γM8e, and...
متن کاملStochastically forced variability in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
Interannual fluctuations in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) were considered. In the present study we analyze a mode of variability in the Hamburg Large-Scale Geostrophic ocean general circulation model which was driven by stochastic atmospheric forcing. The short-term atmospheric weather fluctuations were represented by a number of spatially coherent patterns of momentum, heat, and fres...
متن کاملUnnatural Selection of Antarctic Toothfish in the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Historically, fishermen targeted fish in shallow, nearshore waters relatively close to port (Pauly et al. 2005). As these species became depleted, to meet growing demands, fishermen were forced to move offshore and into deeper waters (Hutchings and Reynolds 2004; Koslow et al. 2000; Morato et al. 2006; Hilborn et al. 2003; Pauly et al. 2002, 2005). Steady advances in fishing technology facilita...
متن کاملFisheries in the Southern Ocean: an ecosystem approach.
The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is bound by its Article II, 3 to follow an ecosystem approach to management. This approach has been extended to the application of a precautionary approach in the late 1980s. In our review, we deal primarily with the science-related aspects of CCAMLR and its development towards an ecosystem approach to the managem...
