Research Abstract |
Faster-growing larvae of flathead founder Hippoglossoides dubius in the initial feeding stage showed higher survival rate than slower-growing ones within cohort in Funka Bay, Hokkaido. The larvae of 2007 year-class that experienced warm-water-temperature condition showed the fastest growth in 2007-2011 year-classes. Contrary to expectations, the 2008 year-class that showed slowest-growing in larval stage became a strong year class in mature stage. Growth rate in the initial feeding stage was weakly correlated with wind speed as a turbulence indicator however did not with water temperature, global solar radiation, or density of copepod nauplii as principal prey for flathead founder larvae. Match-mismatch and growth-mortality hypotheses in initial feeding stage have some degree of validity but are insufficient to explain the variability seen in recruitment. The survival in later stage may determine the recruitment success.
