本文依据1989/1990和1990/1991两个南极夏季在普里兹湾以北海域所获的拖网样品,应用分布混合分析方法,研究大磷虾种群的年龄结构。结果表明,种群内最多可能包括6个年龄组:当年幼体,l+,2+,3+,4+和5+龄虾。年龄组成的地区变化较大,特别是1+龄虾,有时很强,有时完全不存在;5+龄虾的比重很小,平均不到1%,在多数样品中分析不出来。在全部6734尾所分析的大磷虾(当年幼体0+不包括在内)中,1+龄占25.63%,2+龄占22.53%,3+龄占43.46%,4+龄占7.89%,5+龄占0.49%。由于取样点都在外海,1+和2+龄虾的比例大大低于大磷虾种群实际应有的比例。在成体中3+龄虾占绝对优势(83.8%),反映生殖后的死亡率相当高。从各年龄组的平均体长可以发现,从未成体(1+)到次成体(2+)体长增长很快(14.22 mm/a),而从次成体到成体(3+),生长主要是性腺发育,体长增长缓慢(5 mm/a)。 |

Abstract: |
Age-groups of krill (Euphausia superb Dana) collected from the Prydz Bay region in austral summer of 1989/1990 and 1990/1991 were studied by means of distribution mixture analysis from length-frequency data. The results showed that krill population might consist of as many as six age-groups: 0+, 1+, 2+, 3+, 4+ and 5+. Differences in age structure of samples collected at different stations were great, especially in the strengths of 1+ age-groups. Age group 5+ was very weak (small), no more than 1% by average. Among the 6 734 specimens (larvae not included) analysed, 1+ accounted for 25.63%; 2+, 22.53%; 3+, 43.46%; 4+, 7.89% and 5+ 0.49%. The proportions of 1+ and 2+ age-groups observed might be much lower than the real ones in the krill population, since all the samples used for the present study were from the open area. That the 3+ was the dominant (87.3%) age-group among the adults indicated that mortality after spawning must be high. The increases between the mean body lengths of successive age groups showed that high growth rate (14 mm/a) occured in the stage from 1+ juvenile to the 2+ subadult, and decreased rapidly (5 mm/a) during the stage from subadult to the adult (3+), owing to the growth of sexual products. |
