“…Among the six species under consideration, R. giurinus may be deemed to have shown the greatest environmental adaptation. As cases of R. giurinus invasion of other ecosystems are widely documented (Guo et al 2016), this strong adaptability may be one of the necessary preconditions. The spatial temperature field of YRE has a minor gradient (Zhuang et al 2006); however, according to this study the seasonal fluctuation is substantial.…”

In aquatic ecosystems around the world, gobies comprise one of the most diverse groups of fishes in estuaries. The Yangtze River estuary, the biggest estuary in the western Pacific, is a major habitat for larval gobies, with the peak spawning and breeding season occurring during late spring and summer. To investigate the adaptation mechanism of larval gobies to environmental factors, three models (a global generalized linear model, a generalized additive model, and a geographically weighted Poisson regression) were used to simulate and forecast the major habitat distributions of larval gobies based on the survey data from 2018 to 2020. Six species of gobies were studied: Rhinogobius giurinu, Odontamblyopus rubicundus, Tridentiger barbatus, Parachaeturichthys polynema, Tridentiger trigonocephalus, and Trypauchen vagina. The habitats for brackish species T. barbatus were mainly in freshwater (where, using the practical salinity scale, salinity is 0-1) of the south branch, whereas the marine species P. polynema was mainly caught in oligohaline waters (where salinity is 1-5) of the north branch. The other euryhaline species were near the exit of the north branch or dispersed throughout the surveyed region. Year, season, salinity, and sample location had significant effects (P < 0.001) on determining the habitat distributions of larval gobies. The geographically weighted Poisson regression identified that the temperature, depth, distance from the coast, and chlorophyll a had a significant effect (P < 0.001) on the local distribution of habitats. This work supplements information about the distribution of major habitats and their interactions with the environment for the ecologically important species of goby in the Yangtze estuary during the larval stage, and the conclusions provide a basis for the management of aquatic ecosystems and biological habitats.

“…Besides, despite not a fishery target, T. Swinhonis is still very valuable in terms of ecology and fisheries management as it is one of the main bycatch species in China’s freshwater fishery, an important potential food resource for the carnivorous aquatic organisms (Dai et al, 2015; Ye et al, 2014) and plays a key role in the energy flows of their living hydro-ecosystems, linking zooplankton (as T. swinhonis mainly feeds upon copepods, cladocerans and insect larvaes) to higher trophic levels (Zhang, 2005). Meanwhile, many fisheries scientists pointed out that there existed a close relationship between population expansion and particular features of biology and ecology (Peter, 1980; Wang et al, 2013; Guo et al, 2016). Thus, it is the time that much more attentions should be paid on the biology and ecology of this outbreak species.…”

Despite being the most dominant and widespread small fish species in the lakes along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin, Toxabramis swinhonis has been paid little attention by fisheries scientists and little is known about its population characteristics. For this reason, we estimated age, growth, mortality and recruitment of this species based on three shallow lakes, Biandantang Lake, Shengjin Lake and Kuilei Lake (BDT, SJH and KLH, respectively) in this region. A total of 13,585 (8,818 in BDT, 2,207 in SJH and 2,560 in KLH) individuals were collected during monthly sampling from July 2016 to September 2017. The results revealed that the age structures of T. swinhonis consisted of four age groups (0+–3+), with 0+–1+ year old fish comprising more than 98% of the samples. Allometric growth patterns were displayed by fish from all sampling sites and the von Bertalanffy growth functions estimated were Lt = 173.25 (1 – e−1.20 (t + 1.09)): BDT; Lt = 162.75 (1 – e−1.20 (t + 1.08)): SJH and Lt = 215.25 (1 – e−1.20 (t + 1.12)): KLH, respectively. The rates of total mortality (Z), natural mortality (M) and fishing mortality (F) at BDT, SJH and KLH were computed as 5.82, 5.50 and 4.55 year−1; 1.89, 1.87 and 1.75 year−1; 3.93, 3.63 and 2.80 year−1, respectively. Meanwhile, growth performance indices (φ′) were 0.68 (in BDT), 0.66 (in SJH) and 0.62 (in KLH), which indicated that T. swinhonis were overfished slightly in all study areas. Area-specific recruitment patterns were similar to each other, displaying evidence of batch spawning, with major peaks in April and August, accounting for 92.21% (BDT), 88.21% (SJH) and 88.73% (KLH) of total recruitment, respectively. These results showed that brief generation-time, fast growth rate, relatively high natural mortality rate and strong reproductive capacity (r-strategies) are reasons why this species became the most dominant species in many lakes of China.
