摘要

Abstract

In the present study

we investigated a shift in the spatial distribution of wintering anchovy (Engraulis japonicus) and its relationship with water temperature

using data collected by bottom trawl surveys and remote sensing in the central and southern Yellow Sea

during 2000–2015. Our results indicate that the latitudinal distribution of wintering anchovy varied between years

but there was no consistent pattern in the direction of change (north or south). Wintering anchovy did not move northward with increasing water temperature. However

the latitudinal distribution of wintering anchovy correlated well with 10°C and 11°C isotherms. The results of both a one-step and a two-step generalized additive model indicated that water temperature was associated with both presence and biomass of wintering anchovy. This paper is the first to systematically examine the relationship between anchovy distribution and water temperature using a variety of techniques. All the findings confirm the impact of water temperature on wintering anchovy distribution

which has important implications for the continued management of the anchovy resource and the enhancement of marine fishery resources in the Yellow Sea

especially as the climate changes. However water temperature only partly explains the species distribution of anchovy

and stock characteristics also affect fishery distribution. Therefore

other factors should be considered in future research.
