Abstract: | Otolith thermal marking was conducted in larval Chinese sucker, Myxocyprinus asiaticus, by exposing the larvae to water with different temperature regimes ranging from heated water (28°C) to chilled water (16°C) at different time intervals. The results showed that increment patterns differed among groups; the control of duration in the heated water could produce some increments much narrower or wider than those deposited in the natural diel water temperature fluctuation; there was a significantly positive relation between increment width and the duration reared in heated water in each cycle of water temperature fluctuation. These increments with abnormal widths were thermal marks in otoliths, and would be used as bar codes to track the released individuals, and discriminate them from the wild populations in the future. The thermal marking is suitable to mass-mark the Chinese sucker larvae. |
