东海带鱼和小型鱼类空间异质性及其空间关系

根据2001年秋季东海区121个调查站位的调查资料,以变异函数为工具,分析带鱼和7种小型鱼类(黄鲫、棘头梅童鱼、鳄齿鱼、六丝钝尾虎鱼、发光鲷、七星底灯鱼和细条天竺鲷)的空间异质性及其空间关系.结果表明,带鱼的变异函数曲线与细条天竺鲷、六丝钝尾虎鱼和发光鲷的曲线极为相似,对不同距离的变异函数值进行相关分析,带鱼与上述3种小型鱼类均达到极显著相关水平(P<0.01).黄鲫和棘头梅童鱼的变异函数表现出纯金块效应,而其它几种鱼都可拟合为球状或指数模型,并且都具有较强的空间自相关特性,其中细条天竺鲷、六丝钝尾虎鱼和发光鲷的变程也都接近或超过带鱼265km的变程,带鱼与这3种小型鱼类之间具有较强的空间追随关系,因此它们是带鱼的主要摄食对象.     

Feeding habits and ontogenetic diet shifts of hairtail, Trichiurus margarites, in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea

The monthly and ontogenetic variations in diet of hairtail Trichiurus margarites Li (1992) [20] (Perciformes, Trichiuridae) were examined in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea from October 2008 to September 2009. Stomachs of 666 hairtail ranging in size from 121 mm to 561 mm pre-anal length (PL) were sampled monthly from commercial fish catches. Fish were the primary prey, with Decapterus maruadsi (Perciformes, Carangidae) averaging 23% by number, 34% by weight, and 49% by Index of Relative Importance (IRI). Other important prey in the diet included the small benthic fish, Bregmaceros rarisquamosus and Bregmaceros nectabanus (Gadiformes, Bregmaceroridae) and the decapod shrimp, Acetes chinensis, with IRI percentages of 8%, 4%, and 3%, respectively. Low rates of cannibalism and predation on 30 additional species of prey were observed. Trophic diversity (Brillouin Index, H_z) was moderate throughout the year. Mean feeding intensity (Repletion Index, RI) varied considerably by month and increased with the gonad maturity stages of hairtail; conversely, the proportion of empty stomachs decreased with maturity stages, from 60.9% empty at Stage I to 41.6% empty at Stage VI. Prey weight and numbers differed significantly among the 14 PL size classes and increased with body size. Cluster analysis of prey IRI values also indicated differences in the feeding habits of hairtail by size class. Understanding the monthly and ontogenetic changes in hairtail diet may assist in the development and improvement of marine ecosystem modeling for the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea.
