  • Annual and Spatial Variation in the Diet of Juvenile Pacific Cod in Mutsu Bay, Japan
    Anran Dong; Tetsuya Takatsu; Tomoya Ishikawa; Kenta Sasaki; Mitsuhiro Nakaya
    Fishes, 11, 5, 302, 302, MDPI AG, 19 May 2026
    Scientific journal, To evaluate Mutsu Bay as a nursery habitat for Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus Tilesius, 1810), we analyzed settled age-0 juveniles collected with a small bottom otter trawl over 10 years. The three stations with the highest juvenile densities were targeted, and prey-specific feeding intensity (SCIi), its sum (SCI), and the relative condition factor (Kn) were quantified, followed by examining their relationships with juvenile attributes and environmental variables. Diets varied among stations and shifted ontogenetically from small-sized calanoid copepods to larger planktonic and benthic prey. SCI was highest at stations where juveniles consumed medium-sized plankton (0.1–1.0 mg ind−1), including Calanus pacificus, Mesocalanus tenuicornis, Metridia pacifica, Anomura zoeae, and Euphausiacea furciliae, and lower where other prey dominated. High-SCI individuals were rarely observed, likely reflecting enhanced digestion at high temperatures near the upper habitat limit (~12 °C) and consistently low prey density independent of temperature. Kn increased with body size and SCI and tended to be higher in cooler water and closer to the bay mouth, suggesting coupled environmental and physiological constraints. These results suggest that after late May, juveniles may benefit from moving toward the bay mouth, where prey encounter rates are likely higher, including relatively larger prey, which may improve feeding opportunities and condition.
  • Technical note: Development of an extraction protocol and colorimetric analysis for alginate in marine sediment

    Scientific journal, Abstract. In this study, we developed a novel extraction method for alginate, a major organic component derived from brown algae, in marine sediments and evaluated its applicability for quantitative analysis. Alginate analytical methods have been established in food chemistry: we modified these techniques to apply them to marine sediments, which are characterized by the cation composition (e.g., Ca, Mg, Fe) and humic substance-like high-molecular-weight organic compounds. By modifying the protocol through the addition of EDTA-2Na and the omission of ethanol precipitation, we improved the extraction efficiency of alginate from marine sediments, as demonstrated by spike recovery tests where recoveries of Na+-Alg significantly increased from 38.7 % with the conventional method to 64.7 %–82.6 %. Enzymatic degradation tests using alginate lyase confirmed that a portion of the extracted uronic acids from marine sediments (at least 34 %) was derived from alginate, verifying its presence in the natural samples. Using this modified method, alginate contents in sediment samples from coastal waters around Hokkaido, Japan, were quantified as 6.11–26.0 mg m−2 in Funka Bay, 39.0–41.3 mg m−2 in Hakodate Bay, 11.8–14.7 mg m−2 off Cape Esan, and 58.3–74.1 mg m−2 off Muroran. However, these values may be overestimated due to the presence of other uronic acids; therefore, they should be interpreted with caution rather than being directly equated with absolute alginate content.

    English, Scientific journal, The Japanese flying squid Todarodes pacificus (Ommastrephidae) is a commercially and ecologically important species; however, there remains much room for investigation in its early life phase, especially its diet in wild environments. After excising the digestive gland (cecum sac) of wild paralarvae of T. pacificus using Laser Microdissection (LMD), the dietary species were estimated via metagenomic analysis. The 16S rRNA analysis predominantly detected Burkholderiales and Xanthomonadales, regardless of mantle length (ML) of T. pacificus and capture area. COI (Cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) analysis detected in various organisms including Discosea, Arthropoda, Nemertea, Porifera, golden algae, and fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota), which were found irregularly. About half of the paralarval cecum sacs were found empty during the histological analysis. We also estimated the trophic position (TP) of wild paralarvae in the same sea region via stable isotope analysis of amino acids. The TP estimated was 3.0 for all larval groups regardless of ML, suggesting that the trophic tendency of paralarvae is carnivorous, likely feeding on herbivorous organisms. Taken together, our results suggest that the paralarvae feed mostly on various kinds of living herbivorous organisms and partly on detritus.

    English, Scientific journal, ABSTRACT

    The genetic diversity of sperm and spermatangia stored by mated Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus) was examined to better understand how this ommastrephid squid mates and stores sperm. Analyses were conducted using spermatangia implanted in the lips of immature squid collected in Tsugaru Strait, northern Japan, in July–August 2019, spermatangia implanted in the lips of mature squid collected in the East China Sea in April 2019, and sperm stored in the seminal receptacles of squid collected off Tosashimizu, Kochi Prefecture, Japan, in February 2019. DNA was extracted, microsatellite loci were amplified using five PCR primers, and allele peaks were analysed. Analysis of the spermatangia confirmed that females in the field mate with multiple males, suggesting that males transfer from 1 to at least 14 spermatangia in each mating. Analysis of the seminal receptacles showed that sperm from multiple males are mixed within individual sperm chambers. Spermatangia were also found implanted in the lips of males, providing evidence of same-sex sexual behaviour. To date, studies of cephalopod mating systems have focused on coastal species, and the results of this study add to our growing knowledge of more oceanic species.

    Japanese, Scientific journal,

    Among the palaemonid shrimp species of the genus Palaemon known from Japan, Palaemon paucidens is the only species inhabiting freshwater areas. Two genetically distinct types (designated by A and B) were found by allozyme electrophoresis analysis three decades ago. We developed a simple multiplex-PCR assay to discriminate the two types based on 18S rDNA sequences. A total of 422 individuals collected at 152 localities in Japan were analyzed by the multiplex-PCR assay. No heterozygote was observed, indicating that these two types have been reproductively isolated. Both types were distributed throughout Japan; type A was observed in ponds, lakes and rivers, while type B was observed only in rivers.

    English, Scientific journal, During the spring in the coastal waters of Hakodate Bay the shrimp Crangon uritai is the predominant predator on larval and juvenile marbled sole, Pleuronectes yokohamae. To investigate the prey preferences of C. uritai, P. yokohamae and two other prey species, a mysid Nipponomysis sp. and a gammarid Haustorioides japonicus, were used for predation experiments. Among the three prey organisms studied, Nipponomysis sp. was preyed on first, followed by P. yokohamae, and finally H. japonicus. Prey profitability did not differ between P. yokohamae and Nipponomysis sp., though H. japonicus was less profitable. Nipponomysis sp. was larger, more perceptible, and slower to escape than P. yokohamae. A relatively high abundance of mysid Nipponomysis sp. could restrict and reduce predation on P. yokohamae by C. uritai. Gammarid H japonicus was able to escape relatively more easily, because its harder and slippery skin required more handling time than the other prey, possibly making it an undesirable food source for C. uritai. High perceptibility and low escape ability may be the most important factors affecting prey choice of C. uritai.餌種の特性の違いとエビジャコの餌選択の関係を知るために,捕食実験を行った。実験はエビジャコ5個体に対して,マコガレイ稚魚とその他エビジャコの主要な餌であるアミ類の1種Nipponomysis sp.とヨコエビ類の1種ナミノリソコエビを,それぞれ10個体ずつ同時に与えて行った。捕食結果,マコガレイ稚魚はエビジャコにとって処理に時間を要しない餌であるが,底面から離れることがほとんどないため発見されにくく,逃避能力も高いため,Nipponomysis sp.よりも捕食されにくい餌であった。ナミノリソコエビはマコガレイ稚魚に比べて小型であるが,捕獲してから処理に時間を要するため,最も捕食されにくい餌であった。このことからマコガレイ稚魚よりも相対的に目立ちやすく,逃避能力が低く,かつ処理に時間を要しない餌(アミ類)の存在は,エビジャコによるマコガレイ稚魚の被食頻度を低下させていると考えられた。

    English, Scientific journal, To estimate the live body length of marbled sole larvae from a preserved specimen, the notochord-length (NL) shrinkage due to preservation was investigated. In 5% formalin solution, significant shrinkage was observed in all NL classes after 30 days and 1.5 years preservation (5.2% and 6.3% in the 2.8-5.0 mm class; 3.3% and 3.8% in the 5.1-7.0 mm class; 3.8% and 4.1% in the 7.0-7.7 mm class, respectively) . In 90% ethanol solution, significant shrinkage was observed only in the 2.8-5.0 mm NL class after both durations (4.9% and 6.3%, respectively) . In both preservatives, the influence of preservation on shrinkage was stronger for small larvae than for large ones.

    本研究の目的は,産業重要種であるマダラGadus macrocephalusの野外採集仔魚から「母親効果」を検出し,母親効果を考慮した漁獲への変更が,資源量回復にどの程度貢献するのか解明することである。また,環境変動が資源量変動におよぼす影響も同時解析することで,母親効果を利用した資源保護策の有効性も明らかにする.
    まず,これまでのマダラの親魚量と着底期までの仔稚魚の生残率の関係を明らかにするために,主要産卵場の一つである青森県陸奥湾の1989年から2019年までの両者の豊度の間で累積的生残率を推定し,その年変動を明らかにした.その結果,累積的生残率は仔魚期の前半にあたる2月下旬から3月中旬の水温が高いほど高く,仔魚期の後半と稚魚期にあたる3月下旬から5月下旬の水温が7.6℃で最大値を示すことを明らかにした。水温はそれぞれ全変動の23%と22%を説明した。
    次に,孵化仔魚の耳石輪紋に形成される孵化チェック(通常より太い日周輪)の大きさが,卵径に比例するか明らかにするために,2022年1月に津軽海峡で採集した成熟魚を用いて人工授精・飼育を行い,孵化直前の卵と孵化直後の仔魚を得た。また成熟魚の体長や年齢,栄養状態が卵径におよぼす影響を明らかにするために,耳石による年齢査定と魚体測定を行った。
    野外採集仔魚は2021年4月と2022年2月に,主要産卵場である青森県陸奥湾でプランクトンネットによる採集を行った。同時に物理環境データと,仔魚の餌生物であるかいあし類ノープリウスの採集を行った。

    TAKATSU Tetsuya; NAKAYA Mitsuhiro
    To clarify survival processes in Japan Pacific Stock (JPS) of walleye pollock Gadus chalcogrammus, maternal effect and somatic condition were investigated in Funka Bay in 2016-2018. No annual difference in hatch-check diameter on larval otolith derived from maternal was observed between three year-classes. Notochord lengths in late February and early March were small in low water temperature years. The 75-77% of settled juveniles collected in mid-June have settlement checks around their otoliths and settled fork-lengths were estimated at 67.2-69.0 mm from the relationship between fork length and otolith diameter. Feeding intensities and somatic conditions of juveniles decreased in Tsugaru Warm Current water from August to October, then those recovered with water temperature decreasing after October. Annual fluctuations of somatic condition and growth rate might influence the recruitment of JPS.

    The present study examined the first food of Todarodes pacificus paralarvae by assuming that the paralarvae consume microorganisms which were produced by biological loop. The bacterial profile of the egg masses which were obtained through natural spawning in a large experimental tank was similar to those of the nidamental gland (the secretary organ of adult). This result suggested that the adhering bacteria might have originated from indigenous or symbiotic bacteria of the nidamental gland. While, metagenome analysis (CI1 and 16S-rRNA) on the gut contents which were extract from wild paralarvae by Laser Micro-dissection showed that the gut contents were consist of many species of eukaryote and prokaryote (the results on eukaryotic results may require additional testing). The result suggested paralarvae intake microorganism called “detritus”.

    To clarify the occurrence mechanism of strong-year classes in flathead flounder Hippoglossoides dubius, transport process of pelagic larvae and juveniles and settled area of juveniles were investigated in Funka Bay and its vicinity in 2013-2015 FY. In May 2013, late pelagic stage larvae were collected with MOHT- and FMT-nets around the area off Muroran City located at the north-east end of the bay, but no larva was collected in 2014-2015. It might be important for the recruitment success in the 2013 year-class that the clockwise vortex off Muroran captured the larvae was retained by the predominantly northwesterly winds. In this vortex, suitable water temperature (4.1-5.6 degrees Celsius) and prey abundance were observed for larval growth. In contrast in August-December through 2013-2015, no settled juvenile was collected on the sea floor with an otter trawl net in and out of the bay with <98-m and 95-354-m bottom depths, respectively.
