Abstract

Information on survival and growth during the early life stage is essential to understand the mechanism of interannual variations in fish recruitment. Chub mackerel

Scomber

japonicus

is a commercially important pelagic fish widely distributed in the northwestern Pacific. Its catch showed large fluctuations with changes in distribution and migration under climate change and strong fishing. We determined the hatch dates and growth rates of young-of-the-year of chub mackerel through otolith microstructure using samples collected in the Oyashio water in autumn 2018. Results show that the ages of young chub mackerel ranged between 120 and 180 d

and the estimated hatch date lasted from mid-January to late May with a peak from mid-March to mid-April. Average otolith daily increment width during the early life stages (from hatching to 25 d) showed an incre

asing trend. Chub mackerel grows slowly in the first 10 d

and then grows faster during the 10

to 25

d. Three groups with dissimilar growth histories and migration routes were identified using unsupervised random forest clustering analysis

but all eventually converge on the same nursery ground. The faster growth of young-of-the-year chub mackerel leads to better recruitment due to the hypothesis of growth-dependent mortality. Most chub mackerels hatched in March and April

the spawning period is longer and earlier

which could lead to strong year classes. These findings on population composition and life history traits of young-of-the-year of chub mackerel provide valuable information on its recruitment processes during the period of stock recovery.
