Nonetheless, information on its life history, which is essential for population assessment and management, is limited. We estimated its age, growth, maturity, and egg-laying season on the basis of data for 331 specimens captured in the East China Sea. Age was determined by counting translucent bands on vertebral centrum sections. Maximum total length (TL) and age were 448 mm and 10 years for females and 444 mm and 9 years for males. Among the 3 growth models applied to length- at-age data, the von Bertalanffy growth function provided the best fit for both sexes (females: theoretical asymptotic length [ L ∞ ]=428 mm, growth coefficient [ k ]=0.30, and theoretical time a zero length [ t 0 ]=−1.04 years; males: L ∞ =422 mm, k =0.31, and t 0 =−1.04 years). Size and age at 50% maturity were 380 mm TL and 4.60 years for females and 357 mm TL and 4.21 years for males. The monthly seasonal reproductive data, including egg case occurrence and oocyte maximum diameter, indicate a prolonged egg-laying season. Our findings indicate that the life history of the sharpspine skate in the East China Sea is characterized by a shorter lifespan, faster growth, and earlier age at maturity than many other skates globally.","PeriodicalId":50442,"journal":{"name":"Fishery Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140997708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Catch advice is based on stock assessments done with age-based population dynamics models; however, otolith aging is challenging because of unclear growth increments. To address this concern, we compared the consistency of aging with counts of visual annuli to that of aging with cycles of elemental concentrations measured by using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. We tested the hypothesis that oscillations in both environmental conditions and internal physiology through time influence uptake of elements during otolith mineralization. Concentrations of manganese, in comparison with those of the other investigated trace elements (magnesium, strontium, and barium), had the most promising correlation with visual growth increments (~100% age agreement, ±1 year), offering an additional tool to enhance increment identification. In our examination of 550 otoliths collected during 2007–2021, we found that white hake lived a maximum of 10.3 years and exhibited sexual dimorphism in maximum length and age. By using generated von Bertalanffy growth functions, L ( t )=110(1−e −0.113(t+0.45) ) for males and L ( t )=140(1−e −0.113(t−0.30) ) for females (where L ( t ) is length at time t ), size and age at maturity were calculated for males (37.4 cm in total length (TL), 3.3 years) and females (47.4 cm TL, 4.2 years). These results demonstrate that otolith geochemistry can be used to improve the accuracy and precision of the estimation of fish age and maturity, even for challenging species.","PeriodicalId":50442,"journal":{"name":"Fishery Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141018405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
