| Abstract;Much has been known about the importance as a nursery ground of the Chikugo River estuary located at the inner part of the Ariake Bay for Lateolabrax japonicus, and the ecological peculiarity of larval and juvenile L. japonicus in this waters. However, little is known about the early life ecology of L. japonicus in the estuaries other than the Chikugo River in the Ariake Bay. Recently, we found that many larvae and juveniles of L. japonicus inhabit the Rokkaku River estuary adjacent to the Chikugo River estuary. In the Rokkaku River estuary, the distribution of juvenile L. japonicus was strongly related in that of Acanthomysis longirostris, which was one kind of mysids fed by juvenile L. japonicus, intensively. It has been known that larval and juvenile L. japonicus mainly fed on copepods in the Chikugo River estuary. Such conspicuous difference in the food habits between two neighboring estuaries is the significant evidence that shows the great diversity in the early life history of L. japonicus. (author abst.) |
