Within the area studied, both larvae and adults were more abundant in the southern part, where surface temperature was slightly higher than in the north. Spawning of P. saltatrix was limited to the warmest months, from July to September, when the surface temperature was about 25°C. The most common larval sizes, between 2·25 and 2·75mm S.L., were distributed over the continental shelf, and the greatest concentrations were found between 20 and 100 m, suggesting an inshore spawning. Larvae, including the smallest sizes, were found in the most superficial layers and no evidence of vertical migration was observed. The species was regularly fished in the southern zone, maximum monthly catches ranging between 10-20 tonnes. The presence of adults in the coastal zone showed a marked seasonality closely related to temperature, the lowest catches corresponding to the coldest months. © 1993 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles 2022-11-17T13:20:03Z 2022-11-17T13:20:03Z 1993-01 2022-11-17T13:20:03Z artículo issn: 0022-1112 e-issn: 1095-8649 Journal of Fish Biology 42(1): 109-118 (1993) http://hdl.handle.net/10261/283154 10.1006/jfbi.1993.1009 https://doi.org/10.1006/jfbi.1993.1009 Sí none Blackwell Publishing |
