Histological study on nutritional status of larval Japanese anchovy (engraulis japonica T. & S.) / 以組織學的方法判別日本鯷仔魚的營養狀態

碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 漁業科學研究所 / 83 / In this study the assessment of the early reduction of the
Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japnoica) in I-Lan Bay was based
on the nutritional status of the newly hatched larvae. The
Japanese anchovy immigrate to I-Lan Bay to lay eggs in the
spawning season. During the spawning season of 1994, from
February to April, I took fortnight plankton samples, six times
in total. Anchovy larvae were sorted from the samples and their
nutritional status was evaluated based on the histological
condition of the midgut cells. I defined the nutritional status
of anchovy larvae by the histological condition of the midgut
cells and applied this method to study the Japanese anchovy
larvae collected from a transect crossing Kuroshio, upwelling
zone, and continental shelf of the East China Sea in the North
Pacific off northeastern Taiwan.
My results showed that among the anchovy larvae sampled from the I-Lan Bay, 54% were classified starved. Anchovy larvae
caught in the mid spawning season (March 14, starved rate 36%)
seemed to have better nutritional status than those caught at the beginning of the season (February 23, starved rate 52%). I found that the nutritional status of anchovy larvae was correlated with the zooplankton biomass in the same sample (rs = -0.94 P=0.004),but not with the zooplankton biomass of the environment in general.
When these methods were applied to the Japanese anchovy larvae from the different water mass in the North Pacific northeast off Taiwan, I found that the larvae from the upwelling zone had good nutritional status and low starved rate (19%). Their resistence to hunger was stronger than that of the larvae from the I-Lan Bay
