Abstract:Scomber japonicus is widely distributed off the coast of Japan and in the northwestern Pacific. It is an important target for fisheries. To reveal the differences in diet shifts and niche changes of S. japonicus, we collected samples in the high seas of the northwest Pacific (38°59′ N–43°00′ N, 150°30′ E–161°48′ E) from June to August 2021. We utilized stable isotope and fatty acid analyses to study the differences in body length and sex of S. japonicus. The results showed no significant differences in stable … Show more
