Spawning season, recruitment and early life distribution of Anchoa tricolor (Spix and Agassiz, 1829) in a tropical bay in southeastern Brazil.

چکیده
The pattern of the use of the Sepetiba Bay, a semi-closed 450 km(2) area in southeastern Brazil, by Anchoa tricolor was investigated to assess spawning period, recruitment and to detect spatial-temporal patterns of this major fishery resource. Fishes were sampled by seine nets, from spring, 1998 to winter, 1999 and by beach seine, from spring, 1998 to winter, 2000. Reproductive season, measured in terms of GSI, gonad development and appearance of recruits, indicate that reproduction occurs from August to March, when they reach the best condition. Recruitment peaks in winter/spring at sandy beaches where they stay until late summer, moving toward deeper bay areas during autumn. After that, they join adults and perform movements between the bay and the adjacent continental shelf to reproduce.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns in Recruitment Process SCALE AND PATTERN IN RECRUITMENT PROCESSES OF BAY ANCHOVY IN CHESAPEAKE BAY
Recruitment of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) varies annually in Chesapeake Bay, and levels and patterns are related to variability in hydrological conditions and the spatial distribution of spawning stock biomass. Midwater-trawl surveys, conducted three times annually from 1995-1999, over the entire 320-km length of the Bay, provided information on annual and regional patterns of recruitment, ...

متن کاملDistribution and transport of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) eggs and larvae in Chesapeake Bay
Mechanisms and processes that influence small-scale depth distribution and dispersal of bay anchovy (Anchoa mitchilli) early-life stages are linked to physical and biological conditions and to larval developmental stage. A combination of fixed-station sampling, an axial abundance survey, and environmental monitoring data was used to determine how wind, currents, time of day, physics, developmen...
