Abundance, Distribution, and Diet of a Small-Bodied Ecotype of Windowpane
TRANSACTIONS OF THE AMERICAN FISHERIES SOCIETY(2014)
摘要
Windowpanes Scophthalmus aquosus were collected during demersal trawl surveys in Northumberland Strait in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, during July and August 2001-2012. Abundance indices showed relatively little variation between years. Windowpanes were widely distributed in the strait, with 95% of the population occurring in water 9.5 degrees C. The Windowpanes collected were small, all Crangon septemspinosa, followed by mysids and (for fish >20cm) sand lances Ammodytes spp. and juvenile Atlantic Herring Harengus harengus. Small (<10-cm) individuals also ate crab megalops larvae. The mysids consumed on sandy-gravel substrates were Mysis spp.; those consumed on mud bottom were mainly Neomysis americana. Cannibalism was low, consisting of two individuals <1.6cm. Received May 23, 2013; accepted November 22, 2013
