Preliminary analysis of the biology of the crocodile shark, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai in the tropical Eastern-central Atlantic Ocean
摘要
Abstract
Crocodile shark, Pseudocarcharias kamoharai, is a common by-catch species of tuna longliner. As an important part of the oceanic food chain, it plays a vital role in the marine ecosystem. According to the total of 383 crocodile shark samples collected by China' s national tuna fisheries observers in the tropical Eastern-central Atlantic Ocean (4.24° - 14.03°N,27.13°-38.28°W), the biological characteristics of both females and males of crocodile sharks were analyzed and described, respectively. The results can be summarized as follows; (1) The female-male ratio was l:0.36, and with significant difference; (2) The dominant fork length of males and females was 75 - 95 cm, 65 - 90 cm, respectively; (3) There was no significant difference between Hepatosomatic indices ( HSI ) and gonad development for male of P. kamohara, however, HSI of mature individuals was greater than that of immature individuals of female; (4) 96. 8% of males and 56. 12% of females were mature. Maturity stages at II and IV of females' gonads were dominant and the size at 50% maturity (L50) of female was 84. 6 cm in fork length; (4) Feeding stage 0 was dominant with the percentage of 52. 38% , and feeding stage 1 accounted for the percentage of 33. 86% ; (5) The prey composition in the stomachs of these shark samples was mainly sardine (72. 56%) and squid (27.44%); (6) The relationships between fork length and round weight for females and males was described by WR =2 × 10-5 LF2.7614, WR =2 × 10-6LF3.3287 respectively. Due to the difficulty for collecting the oceanic species samples, this study contributed to a better understanding of crocodile shark in biological characteristics, and the information from this study would be helpful for some regional fisheries management organizations to conduct stock assessment and decision making.关键词
