Abstract
Based on long-term data on Pacific herring in the Peter the Great Bay, it has been established that the growth zone on scales begins in April and May, whereas the annuli form between October and January. The phenological season of active somatic growth starts in April and May for herring in this area, the largest body length gains are detected in late summer and early autumn, and active growth ends by November and December. Size diversity for young fish depends on starting conditions for growth in the first year of life and the timing of puberty. Size diversity increases in adult fish because of the accelerated growth for the fish dwelling in local favorable habitats with longer growth seasons or internal reserves of the body.
期刊介绍:
The Russian Journal of Marine Biology was founded in 1975 by Alexey V. Zhirmunsky, member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The Russian Journal of Marine Biology covers a wide range of research and some applied aspects of marine biology as a synthetic science related to various fields of study on marine biota and environment. It presents fundamental research on biological processes at molecular, cellular, organismal, and populational levels in marine organisms. Consideration is given to marine objects as models in life sciences. The journal also publishes papers dedicated to events in Russian and international marine biological science and the history of biology.
