Abstract:Development and growth rate variations during early life are important for understanding the mechanisms of recruitment dynamics. We examined the larval growth rate and age at the onset of metamorphosis (dm) of juvenile Japanese jack mackerel recruited to a population in the Uwa Sea, Japan. Otolith microstructure analyses revealed that the hatch date of juveniles ranged from February to April in 2011–2015, and that their dm were 25.5–30.5 days and mean growth rates at the larval stage (GL) were 0.30–0.34 mm day… Show more
