Evaluating environmental forcing on nutritional condition of Engraulis anchoita larvae in a productive area of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean

The main goal of this study was to examine the nutritional condition of Engraulis anchoita larvae during the austral spring-summer seasons of 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 in highly productive waters in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean called El Rincón. RNA/DNA (RDs) index and derived index of Growth perfo...

RNA/DNA (RDs) index and derived index of Growth performance (Gpf) were used. Significant differences were observed in average RDs indices for 2010/2011 (5.27 ± 3.26) and 2012/2013 (0.81 ± 0.44).

Concerning chlorophyll concentrations showed a sharp decline in the values for the rest of the 2012/2013 season. We propose that the low larval growth and condition observed during 2012/2013 may have resulted from a decrease in chlorophyll concentrations together with very large larval densities which enhanced the competition for food within the larval population. Our results reinforce the idea that satellite ocean color products can be valuable tools for understanding variability in ecosystem dynamics and its effects on reproductive success in fish. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd JOUR info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ar http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_00796611_v168_n_p13_Diaz
