“…In the present study, the maximum proportion of larvae with inflated swim bladders did not exceed 60% and was similar to the proportion (50 ± 0.5%) reported in Partridge et al. () under a 12‐hr lighting photoperiod. In contrast, Kurata et al., reported that PBF larvae need to gulp air for successful ISI during a three‐hour period prior to onset of darkness at 3 dph with over 80% of inflation frequency.…”

“…In this study, swim bladder inflation first occurred at 3 dph during the onset of feeding of YFT larvae, which is similar to that of PBF (Kurata et al 2012) and SBT (Woolley et al 2013) larvae. Low proportions of inflated swim bladders during the first week of feeding in marine fish larvae have been reportedly associated with photoperiod, temperature, the timing of first feeding and the timing of removal of tank surface oils (Bailey & Doroshov 1995;Friedman & Shutty 1999;Trotter, Battaglene & Pankhurst 2003;Partridge et al 2011). In addition, it is also necessary to determine the optimal tank skimming protocol for YFT culture to promote initial swim bladder inflation.…”

Effect of water surface condition on survival, growth and swim bladder inflation of yellowfin tuna,Thunnus albacares(Temminck and Schlegel), larvae

Early‐stage mortality due to surface water tension‐related death and due to sinking to the tank bottom was investigated for yellowfin tuna, Thunnus albacares (YFT), larvae. Different aeration rates and rearing water surface conditions were examined to evaluate the effect on larval survival, swim bladder inflation and growth. The percentage survival of yolk sac larvae was significantly higher when the rearing water surface was covered with fish oil at aeration rates of 0 and 50 mL min−1. The highest mortality occurred at the highest aeration rate of 250 mL min−1 regardless of surface water condition. A second experiment was conducted twice under different water surface conditions: the water surface was covered by fish oil (FO), skimmed of fish oil (SS), and was not treated (NC). The percentage survival was not significantly different between treatments after 7 days of feeding. In contrast to the survival, the proportion of larvae with inflated swim bladders was significantly higher for the NC and SS groups than that of the FO group. Results of these experiments indicate that the addition of oil to the rearing water surface without its removal interferes with the initial swim bladder inflation in YFT larvae. These results also indicate that YFT larvae need to obtain (gulp) air at the water surface for initial swim bladder inflation, and success of initial swim bladder inflation may be crucial for their survival.

“…swim-bladder at pre-flexion stage (Partridge et al, 2011) allows the vertical displacement of larvae at this stage in the water column. For most organisms, avoiding the surface layers during light periods is commonly considered as an antipredator behavior (Williamson et al, 2011;Mehner, 2012).…”

Effects of light-dark cycle on the spatial distribution and feeding activity of fish larvae of two co-occurring species (Pisces: Hypophthalmidae and Sciaenidae) in a Neotropical floodplain lake

Most studies on mechanisms regulating fish larvae processes have focused on assessing the isolated effects of food distribution and feeding behavior. However, in natural ecosystems, fish larvae may strongly interact with zooplankton organisms in an array of complex, direct and indirect interdependencies. This study analyzed the spatial distribution, diet and feeding behavior of early stages of Hypophthalmus edentatus and Plagioscion squamosissimus, two fish species co-occurring in an isolated floodplain lake, during the light-dark cycle. Larvae fed more actively during dark periods (dusk and night) when they migrated toward the surface of the lake, and remained on the bottom and fed less during light periods (day and dawn). Cladocerans represented the most frequent prey in the diet of H. edentatus larvae. In turn, P. squamosissimus larvae initially preferred cladocerans and, as they developed, included calanoid copepods in the diet. Significant differences were detected in the frequencies of food items consumed during larval development, which could be related to a better ability of the most developed stages to explore the environment in search of other prey.Keywords: diet, predation, feeding preference, trophic strategy, zooplankton.Efeitos do ciclo claro-escuro na distribuição espacial e na atividade alimentar de larvas de peixes de duas espécies coexistentes (Pisces: Hypophthalmidae e Sciaenidae) em uma lagoa de planície de inundação Neotropical ResumoA maioria dos estudos de mecanismos que regulam os processos de larvas de peixes se concentra na avaliação dos efeitos isolados da distribuição do alimento e do comportamento alimentar. No entanto, em ecossistemas naturais, as larvas de peixes podem interagir fortemente com os organismos do zooplâncton em uma série de interdependências complexas, diretas e indiretas. Este estudo analisou a distribuição espacial, dieta e comportamento alimentar dos estágios iniciais de vida de Hypophthalmus edentatus e Plagioscion squamosissimus, duas espécies de peixes coexistentes em uma lagoa isolada de planície de inundação, durante o ciclo claro-escuro. As larvas se alimentaram mais ativamente durante os períodos escuros (crepúsculo e noite) quando ascenderam em direção à superfície da lagoa, enquanto durante os períodos luminosos (dia e amanhecer) permaneceram no fundo e pouco se alimentaram. Os cladóceros foram as presas mais frequentes na dieta de larvas de H. edentatus. Por sua vez, larvas de P. squamosissimus inicialmente preferiram cladóceros, e a medida que se desenvolveram incluíram copépodes calanóides na dieta. Diferenças significativas foram detectadas nas frequências dos itens alimentares consumidos durante o desenvolvimento larval, o que poderia estar relacionado a uma melhor capacidade dos estágios mais desenvolvidos em explorar o ambiente na busca por outras presas.Palavras-chave: dieta, predação, preferência alimentar, estratégia trófica, zooplâncton.
