基于线粒体控制区序列的南海圆舵鲣种群遗传结构分析

利用线粒体控制区(D-loop) 高变区序列作为遗传标记, 分析了中国南海5N～21N 之间7 个圆舵鲣( Auxis rochei) 地理群体的遗传结构特征。201尾样本的D-loop 区序列共检测到185 种单倍型。各个采样点均呈现出很高的单倍型多样性(0.958 2～1.000 0)和较高的核苷酸多样性(0.034 327～0.041 235) 的特征。单倍型邻接关系树未呈现与地理群体对应的谱系结构。分子方差分析和成对遗传分化系数(FST) 显示南海海域圆舵鲣的遗传变异主要来自群体内(98.33%) , 群体间基因交流频繁, 是一个随机交配群。核苷酸不配对分布和中性检验表明南海圆舵鲣在更新世晚期曾经历过种群的快速扩张。结果表明, 南海圆舵鲣具有丰富的遗传多样性水平, 遗传分化不显著, 在渔业上可以作为一个单元来管理。     

Seasonal abundance of two important forage species in the North Pacific Ocean,Pacific herring and walleye pollock

Pacific herring (Clupea pallasii) and walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) are important forage species in the North Pacific Ocean, but their seasonal abundance patterns are poorly known. During three consecutive years of monthly acoustic surveys in Lynn Canal, southeastern Alaska, large schools of herring dominated during winter and were present in a 60-km long submarine gully; this gully appears to provide critical winter habitat for herring when their prey are less available and energy expenditure must be reduced. The salient change in pollock distribution is a shift from shallow waters during summer to deeper waters during winter, such that shallow (<40 m) waters are nearly devoid of pollock during winter. The shift presumably occurs in response to the build-up of secondary productivity during summer and predator avoidance during winter. The seasonal changes in herring abundance drove seasonal changes in predator abundance, as Steller sea lions (Eumetopias jubatus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) preyed upon the winter aggregation of herring. Such seasonal links likely serve an important role in structuring trophic relationships in the North Pacific Ocean ecosystem.     

Genetic population structure of the Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis and the yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares in the North Pacific Ocean

The genetic population structure of the Pacific bluefin tuna (PBF) Thunnus orientalis and the yellowfin tuna (YFT) T. albacares in the North Pacific Ocean was investigated. The polymorphism of microsatellite (SSR) loci and sequences of mitochondrial DNA control region (mtCR) were analyzed for 71 samples of PBF from Japan and Mexico and 45 samples of YFT from Japan and Panama. In the SSR analyses, both single-locus (?0.010 to 0.008 in PBF and ?0.023 to 0.020 in YFT) and global multilocus (0.003 in PBF and ?0.002 in YFT) F _ST values among the geographic populations were low and not significant in these species. In the mtCR analyses, neither the neighbor-joining tree nor the minimum spanning network showed genetic differentiation among the geographic populations in each species. The pairwise F _ST values among the geographic populations of them (?0.005 in PBF and ?0.020 to ?0.014 in YFT) were low and not significant. Our SSR and mtCR data suggested that genetic differentiations were not evident among the eastern and western populations in the North Pacific Ocean either in PBF or in YFT. Mismatch distributions, demographic parameters, and neutrality tests suggested that sudden population expansion of PBF and YFT in the North Pacific Ocean occurred 628,000–731,000 and 450,000–525,000 years ago, respectively.     

Genetic population structure of the bigeye tuna Thunnus obesus in the central Pacific Ocean based on mtDNA Cytb sequences

Bigeye tuna Thunnus obesus is considered an important fishery species around the world. There is no adequate genetic data available for the T. obesus population. Polymorphism of sequence variations in mitochondrial Cytb genes were assessed to explore the level of genetic variability and differentiation among eight populations of T. obesus sampled from the central Pacific Ocean. Overall, a total of 44 mtDNA haplotypes and 26 variable sites were detected in the 686 bp segment of mtDNA Cytb gene. Nucleotide diversity ranged from 0.17 to 0.27 % and the haplotype diversity ranged from 0.604 to 0.793. An analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) test of bigeye tuna revealed that 99.38 % of the genetic variation occurred within populations. Both the maximum likelihood tree and the haplotype network indicated that two lineages of bigeye tuna coexisted in the central Pacific Ocean. Hierarchical AMOVA tests and pairwise analysis revealed no geographical isolation among haplotypes within the two lineages. High Nm values from this investigation indicated high rates of gene flow between the two sampling regions. Furthermore, tests of neutrality and mismatch distribution suggested that T. obesus might have experienced a population expansion, one that possibly occurred 110,000 years ago. Our study firstly unraveled the population genetic structure of the T. obesus in the central Pacific Ocean, and addressed the related fishery management issues including fishery stock identification, management, and conservation.     

Natal origin and population connectivity of bigeye and yellowfin tuna in the Pacific Ocean

Natural chemical markers (stable isotopes and trace elements) in otoliths of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin tuna (T. albacares) were used to investigate their origin and spatial histories in the western and central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). Otolith chemistry of young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) T. obesus and T. albacares from four regions in the WCPO was first determined and used to establish baseline chemical signatures for each region. Spatial variation in stable isotope ratios of YOY T. obesus and T. albacares was detected, with the most noticeable difference being depleted otolith δ¹⁸O values for both species from the far west equatorial and west equatorial regions relative to the central equatorial and Hawaii regions. Elemental ratios in otoliths were also quantified for YOY T. obesus and T. albacares collected in 2008, and several showed promise for distinguishing YOY T. obesus (Mg:Ca, Mn:Ca, and Ba:Ca) and T. albacares (Li:Ca and Sr:Ca). The natal origin of age‐1 to age‐2+ T. obesus and T. albacares was then determined for two regions of the WCPO, and mixed‐stock analysis indicated that T. obesus and T. albacares in our west equatorial sample were almost entirely from local production, with a minor contribution from central equatorial waters. Similarly, T. albacares collected in Hawaii were exclusively from local sources; however, a large fraction of T. obesus in Hawaii were classified to the central equatorial region, suggesting that the movement of migrants from outside production zones (i.e., south of Hawaii) are important to Hawaii's domestic fishery.     

Vertical behavior of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the northwestern Pacific Ocean based on archival tag data

The behavior of bigeye tuna (Thunnus obesus) in the northwestern Pacific Ocean was investigated using archival tag data for 28 fish [49–72 cm fork length (FL) at release, 3–503 days] released in Japanese waters around the Nansei Islands (24–29°N, 122–132°E) and east of central Honshu (Offshore central Honshu, 32–36°N, 142–148°E). Vertical behavior was classified into three types based on past studies: ‘characteristic’ (non‐associative), ‘associative’ (associated with floating objects) and ‘other’ (behavior not fitting into these two categories). The proportion of fish showing associative behavior decreased and that of characteristic behavior increased as fish grew, and this shift was pronounced at 60–70 cm FL. The fish usually stayed above the 20°C isotherm during the daytime and nighttime when showing associative behavior and below the 20°C isotherm during daytime for characteristic behavior. A higher proportion of characteristic behavior was seen between December and April around the Nansei Islands, and between September and December for offshore central Honshu. Seasonal changes in vertical position were also observed in conjunction with changes in water temperature. In this study, ‘other’ behavior was further classified into five types, of which ‘afternoon dive’ behavior, characterized by deep dives between around noon and evening, was the most frequent. The present study indicated that in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, the vertical behavior of bigeye tuna changes with size, as well as between seasons and regions.     

中东太平洋金枪鱼延绳钓渔获物组成分析

根据2000年9月至2002年8月两年的中东太平洋金枪鱼延绳钓探捕调查结果,对延绳钓渔获物组成进行了初步分析。结果显示,延绳钓的主要渔获种类有肥壮金枪鱼(Thunnus obesus)和黄鳍金怆鱼(Thunnus albacares)等15种大洋性鱼类,渔获物中金枪鱼类分别占重量和尾数的76．41％和76．91％,旗鱼类占11．05％和7．83％．鲨鱼类占10．80％和12．08％,其他鱼类占1．73％和3．18％。相对重要性指标(IRI)表明,延绳钓渔业以肥壮金枪鱼和黄鳍金枪鱼为目标鱼种,其他大型中上层经济鱼类为兼捕对象。各渔获种类的渔获重量组成比例月间变化和海域变化明显。     

中西太平洋金枪鱼围网黄鳍金枪鱼渔获时空分析

中西太平洋的金枪鱼围网渔业目前的年产量约在1×106t左右,其中黄鳍金枪鱼占有很重要的地位。本文通过对围网捕获的黄鳍金枪鱼渔获数据进行时间序列以及空间位置变化等时空分析,试图找出其变化规律以及趋势。结果表明,20世纪70年代以来,随着渔船数的增加,中西太平洋围网捕获的黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量分布,从太平洋岛屿近海逐渐向太平洋热带中部海域扩展。渔获量经度重心随着中西太平洋金枪鱼围网渔业的发展有向东移动的趋势,70年代在128°E附近,到80年代在145°E左右,90年代在152°E左右,近年在155°E左右。而黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量纬度重心位于赤道区域,70年代在3°30′N附近,80年代在0°30′N左右,90年代在0°40′S左右,近年在1°20′S左右。经纬度5°×5°小区范围内10年内的最高总产量则从70年代的8×104t,增加到90年代超过20×104t。渔获量空间分布除了随着渔业发展向外海扩展以外,还受到被称为南方涛动的ENSO现象的明显影响,一般来说渔获量经度中心在厄尔尼诺年比较偏东,在拉尼娜年比较偏西,渔获量纬度重心在厄尔尼诺年或次年比较偏南,在拉尼娜次年比较偏北。此外,黄鳍金枪鱼渔获量经度重心在厄尔尼诺年变化比较大,渔获量纬度重心在厄尔尼诺年或次年变化比较大。     

基于耳石微结构的西北太平洋柔鱼群体结构、年龄与生长的研究

根据2007年7—10月在西北太平洋柔鱼传统作业渔场采集的样本,利用耳石微结构对其渔获群体结构、年龄与生长进行了研究。分析认为,雌性个体胴长为200～395 mm,日龄为123～258 d;雄性个体胴长为200～353 mm,日龄为127～274 d。7、8月渔获样本的优势日龄为151～180 d,9月为181～210 d,10月为211～240 d。孵化日期为2006年12月下旬至2007年6月上旬,其中1—4月为高峰期。雌性个体的胴长绝对生长率平均为(1.175±0.127) mm/d,雄性为(0.952±0.213) mm/d。其胴长、体质量与日龄的关系可分别用线性和指数方程来拟合,雌、雄个体胴长和体质量生长存在显著差异。研究认为,传统作业渔场中大多数渔获属冬春生群,7—10月各月优势日龄组呈现出随月变化一致的趋势,进一步印证了柔鱼轮纹为日周期的结论。推测认为,柔鱼孵化后,从产卵场洄游至索饵场需要4～6个月的时间。     

中西太平洋金枪鱼围网渔场变动的预报分析

中西太平洋赤道海域是中国围网渔业最主要的作业海域。由于渔场存在年际间的剧烈变动,掌握渔场时空变动的预报越来越重要。本研究通过上海开创公司围网2011–2014年的渔捞日志数据,从Ni?o3.4指数和TAO数据(海洋表面温度和海表风)获得的海洋环境变量,采用时滞相关分析方法,探讨渔场变动和渔场环境变动的规律;寻找合适的预报因子和延迟数;建立回归预报模型。在2011–2014年各月海洋环境分布图和渔场中心分布图中,发现渔场中心的变动和风场、温度场变动都有明显的关系。在时滞相关分析中发现:(1)中心渔场经度和180°E与165°E平均纬向风速异常成正相关,相关系数分别达0.79和0.82,前者滞后1月,后者同步;和180°E与165°E平均经向风速异常成负相关,相关系数分别为–0.54和–0.41,前者滞后2月,后者同步;和29℃等温线经度最大相关系数0.75,同步;和Ni?o3.4指数同步,相关系数为0.47。(2)中心渔场纬度与180°E平均纬向风速异常、165°E平均经向风速异常都是正相关,相关指数分别0.55和0.63,延迟2个月和1个月;而与该两处的纬向风速变异负相关,相关性都低于0.5,延迟3个月和同步;和Ni?o3.4指数相关性不显著。(3)通过逐步最优回归拟合,获得了中心渔场的回归方程分别为:GC_Lon=137.534+2.36159UA_165_t+0.159159SST_29_t,GC_Lat=0.236156+0.51587UA_165_(t–1)–1.12848VA_165_t。在渔场经度模型中,最优模型包括了165°E平均经向风速异常和29℃等温线经度值,模型相关指数平方R~2为0.72;而经度模型中,最优模型包括了165°E平均经向风速异常和纬向风速异常,其相关指数平方R~2为0.34。在预报模型预报结果中,预报结果和实际值在经度和纬度上都存在2度以上误差,产生差异原因是船队的在东部海域购买作业许可天数不够,而西部有余所致;模型的预报结果和中国租赁船队的渔场中心经度误差在0.5°以内,纬度误差在1.5°左右,较为理想。该研究发现了风速异常和温度线分布对渔场移动有显著性影响,但风速变异较少获得关注,尤其是位于165°E和180°E的纬向风速变异对渔场的影响超过了29℃等温线。这一发现可用于以后相关研究,以及建立的预报模型的可供围网公司购买渔业许可参考使用。     

Spatial variability of bigeye tuna habitat in the Pacific Ocean: Hindcast from a refined ecological niche model

Habitat distribution is critically informative for stock assessment, since incorporating its variabilities can have important implications for the estimation of stock biomass or the relative abundance index. A refined ecological niche model with habitat characteristic parameterization was developed to reconstitute a 3‐D ecological map of bigeye tuna in the Pacific Ocean. We determined the boundaries and hierarchies of oceanographic features and hydrological conditions at horizontal and vertical scales to define the habitat preference of bigeye tuna associated with their feeding and physiological requirements. Ecogeographic projections underlined the depth‐ and region‐specific habitat distribution of bigeye tuna, with noticeable dynamic variations in the response to climate variability. Depths from 300 to 400 m represented layers of the most productive habitat, which was widespread through the equatorial Pacific Ocean and extended to the north‐central Pacific Ocean. The proportion of high‐quality habitat size in the north Pacific had a strictly regular intra‐annual cycle with peaks during the winter. Climate variability appeared to disturb the balance of the regular fluctuations in habitat size in the equatorial Pacific. Habitat hotspots during an El Niño period were characterized by their expansion to the north of the Hawaiian islands, shrinkage in the west for the hotspot band north of the Equator, and an eastern shift for the band south of the Equator. This variability may be the consequence of the incorporated fluctuations of the oxygen minimum zones (OMZ), current systems, and stratification in the open ocean.     

Estimating trends and magnitudes of bycatch in the tuna fisheries of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean

Minimising the unintended capture of fish, marine mammals, reptiles, seabirds and other marine organisms is an important component of responsible fisheries management and for stabilising declines and rebuilding populations of threatened species. The analyses presented were designed to establish the first quantitative baseline of historical catches, catch rates and species composition for the dominant tuna fisheries operating in the western and central Pacific, the world's largest in terms of tuna catch. Using records from 612,148 fishing events collected by independent ‘at sea’ observers, estimates for finfish, billfish, elasmobranchs, marine mammals and sea turtles show that the composition and magnitude of catches varied considerably by fishery type and practice for the period 2003–2019. Simulations indicated that precision in longline estimates would be improved by monitoring a proportion of fishing sets from all fishing trips rather than full coverage from a proportion of all fishing trips. While attributing reasons for temporal trends in estimated bycatch was difficult due to the confounding impacts of changing abundances and fishing practices, the trends identified the nature of potential relationships for species that are not accurately quantified, or not covered, by fishing vessel logbooks. The trends in catch estimates, and the catch rate models, have utility in identifying species which may require targeted additional analyses and management interventions, including species of conservation interest (either due to their threatened status or vulnerability to fishing) such as elasmobranchs and sea turtles. Moreover, the estimates should support future evaluations of the impact of these industrial-scale fisheries on bycatch species.     

中西太平洋金枪鱼围网鲣鱼渔获量时空分布分析

中西太平洋的金枪鱼围网渔业目前的年产量约在100×104t左右,其中鲣鱼占有很重要的地位。本文通过对20世纪70年代以来围网捕获的鲣鱼渔获数据进行时间序列以及空间位置变化等时空分析,试图找出其变化规律以及趋势。结果表明,从20世纪70年代以来,随着渔船数的增加,中西太平洋的围网捕获的鲣鱼渔获量分布,从太平洋岛屿近海逐渐向太平洋热带中部海域扩展。渔获量经度重心随着中西太平洋金枪鱼围网渔业的发展有向东移动的趋势,70年代在128°E附近变化,80年代在144°E左右,90年代在153°E左右,近年在158°E左右变化。而鲣鱼渔获量纬度重心位于赤道区域,70年代在2°N附近,80年代在1°30′S左右,90年代在2°50′S左右,近年在2°55′S左右变化。经纬度5°×5°单个小区范围内10年内的最高总产量则从70年代的11×104t,增加到90年代超过了69×104t。渔获量空间分布除了随着渔业发展向外海向赤道以南扩展以外,还受南方涛动(ENSO)现象的明显影响,一般来说在相邻的数年中渔获量经度中心在厄尔尼诺年比较偏东,在拉尼娜年比较偏西。

西北太平洋柔鱼渔情速报系统的开发

The neon flying squid, Ommastrephes bartrami, is one of the most important jig fisheries in the northwest Pacific Ocean. In order to understand the movement of O. bartrami fishing-ground better and supply O. bartrami fishing-ground information for Chinese fishing boats in the northwest Pacific ocean, the fishing condition analysis and forecasting system of O. bartrami was developed successfully. The system was based on established comprehensive database, which included the catch data of O. bartrami (total yields, count of total fishing boats, fishing position etc. ) and oceanic environmental information (SST, SST gradient etc. ). Artificial intelligent technology about case-based reasoning was also combined with GIS component technology successfully in the system. The process and function of system establishment are composed of four parts: setting up of case database for central fishing-ground and its environmental factors, knowledge reasoning of fishery information, GIS visualization analyzing as well as trend forecasting of central fishing-ground and information production mapping. At last as an example of the results, an experimental central fishing-ground forecasting of O. bartrami from 9 to 15 in July 2002 in the northwest Pacific Ocean was given in the paper. The results showed that through three class similar searching forecasting central fishing-ground would move west, and indicating that forecasting of the system for O. bartrami central fishing-ground was correct by comparing to real fishing-ground from 16 to 22 in July 2002. Consequently, artificial intelligent expert system technology about case-based reasoning is a useful method for fishing condition and fishing-ground forecasting.
