After analyzing all the collection data for larvae of the Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica, in the western North Pacific, we found that the spawning site of this species appears to be near three seamounts in the West Mariana Ridge, 2000–3000km away from their freshwater habitats. These seamounts are located in the westward flow of the North Equatorial Current and are hypothesized to provide cues for migrating silver eels and to serve as possible aggregation sites for spawning. Back-calculated birth dates based on otolith microstructure of leptocephali indicate that the Japanese eel does not spawn continuously during the long spawning season from April to November, but is synchronized to spawn periodically once a month during new moon. This lunar periodicity of spawning and the seamount spawning hypothesis are new developments in the millennium-old mystery of eel spawning that has fascinated naturalists since the time of Aristotle. 相似文献

One hatchery-derived impoundment and nine wild riverine populations of the catadromous percoid Australian bass Macquaria novemaculeata were examined at six polymorphic allozyme loci to reveal population genetic structure. Subtle genetic differences among many populations indicated that fish did not interact as a panmictic unit, but rather conformed to an isolation by distance pattern of population structure. The hatchery-derived Glenbawn Dam sample differed from the riverine populations in both average heterozygosity and number of polymorphic loci, demonstrating the need for caution in supplementation programs to rehabilitate wild riverine populations. 相似文献
