Study on microstructure and growth characteristics of Uroteuthis edulis statolith in East China Sea

摘要: 文章根据2017年和2018年9月至翌年3月在东海采集的剑尖枪乌贼 (Uroteuthis edulis) 样本,对其耳石形态进行观察与测量,并结合日龄信息对耳石微结构及生长特征进行了研究。结果表明,耳石生长纹由明暗相间的环纹组成,依据生长纹的宽度及亮度划分为后核心区、暗区和外围区。通过耳石日龄进行逆推发现春、夏产卵群体为优势群体,优势群体间耳石各形态参数差异显著 (P<0.05)。主成分分析表明,耳石总长 (TSL) 和最大宽度 (MW) 可作为表征春、夏产卵群体耳石长度和宽度的指标。春、夏产卵群体TSL生长模型采样年间差异均显著 (P<0.05),春季产卵群体分别以逻辑斯蒂和对数生长模型拟合最佳,夏季产卵群体以逻辑斯蒂和线性拟合最佳。春、夏产卵群体MW生长模型采样年间差异均不显著 (P>0.05),以逻辑斯蒂生长模型拟合最佳,性别间差异不显著 (P>0.05)。180~240 d,春季产卵群体TSL和MW的生长速率均大于夏季产卵群体。Abstract: Based on Uroteuthis edulis samples collected from September 2017 to March 2018 and from September 2018 to March 2019, we observed the statolith morphology, and studied the microstructure and growth characteristics of the otolith. The results show that the statolith growth increments were composed of light and dark rings, and could be divided as postnuclear zone, dark zone and peripheral zone according to their width and brightness. According to the statolith age, the spawning population in spring and summer was the dominant cohort, and the morphological variables of the statolith between the two cohorts were significantly different (P<0.05). Principal component analysis shows that the total length (TSL) and maximum width (MW) of the otoliths could be used as indicators to characterize the length and width of statoliths in spring and summer spawning cohorts. The TSL growth function of the spring and summer spawning cohorts was significantly different in the two years (P<0.05). The former best fitted with Logistic and logarithmic growth functions, and the latter best fitted with Logistic and linear functions. The MW growth function of the spawning population in spring and summer showed no significant difference (P>0.05). The logistic growth function was the best fit and the gender difference was not significant (P>0.05). During the 180~240 days, the growth rate of spring and summer spawning cohorts both showed a downward trend, and the growth rates of TSL and MW in spring spawning cohorts were greater than those in summer.
