Abstract

The neustonic layer of the ocean are visited at night time by a large number of organisms for feeding or breeding. This study reports large aggregations of the myctophid Myctophum punctatum at night in the strictly sea surface layer of the water column and the co-occurrence of dolphins swimming and probably feeding on these fish. The study was based on fish captures obtained from neuston hauls and dolphins observations in the Alboran Sea (western Mediterranean), and in oceanic waters off Lisboa (temperate Atlantic). Data on the abundance, biomass, size frequency distributions and Gonadosomatic Index of M. punctatum were analysed, and the relevance of these high aggregations both for the biology of the species and as a source of prey for the co-occurring dolphins is discussed.
水面上的灯笼鱼群与海豚的存在有关
海洋的中子层在夜间有大量的生物来觅食或繁殖。本研究报告了夜间在水柱的严格海洋表层大量聚集的斑点Myctophum punctatum,以及海豚游泳并可能以这些鱼为食的现象。这项研究是基于在Alboran海(地中海西部)和里斯本附近海域(温带大西洋)捕获的鱼类和海豚。本文分析了斑马鱼的丰度、生物量、大小频率分布和性腺指数的数据,并讨论了这些高聚集与物种生物学和作为共同发生的海豚的猎物来源的相关性。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
