Outline of Final Research Achievements

A scheme reproducing a migration history of Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus) was developed using the stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) in the otolith and a data assimilation model for contributing to clarification of the fluctuation mechanism of the stock-biomass. Juveniles were reared in three different water temperatures over the course of a month. Analysis of otolith δ18O was conducted by extracting the portions formed during the rearing period using a micromill, and it derived a linear relationship between otolith δ18O and ambient water temperature. Coupling of the relationship and a data-assimilative model enabled to reproduce a detailed movement of Japanese sardine with a temporal resolution of 10 days from their spawned region around the Kuroshio to the feeding ground in the subarctic area.
