Abstract

La fécondité par acte de ponte du listao Katsuwonus pelamis de l'ouest de l'océan Indien a été étudiée à partir de 281 femelles dont les tailles (longueur à la fourche) sont comprises entre 43 et 73 cm et dont les ovaires étaient à un stade de maturité sexuelle avancé. Le liquide de Gilson, utilisé comme agent conservateur et dissociateur des ovocytes, a une action importante et rapide (5 jours) sur le rétrécissement des ovocytes. Des comptages effectués à l'aide d'une cuve de Dollfus sur des sous-échantillons d'ovocytes dissociés, montrent que pour une même période d'activité sexuelle (février), la fécondité du listao du canal de Mozambique est semblable à celle des listaos du sud du plateau des Seychelles. Bien qu'une activité sexuelle du listao soit notée tout au long de l'année, la fécondité individuelle varie d'une saison à l'autre et ce, pour un même secteur géographique. Cette fécondité individuelle par acte de ponte varie de 80 000 œufs pour des femelles de 44 cm provenant de la côte nord-ouest de Madagascar à 1,25 millions d'œufs pour des femelles de 75 cm pêchées autour des Seychelles. La fécondité relative correspondante évolue donc entre 40 et 130 œufs/g de poids de corps. Pour cette espèce, le nombre de pontes successives a été estimé à 4 par an.

  • Tropical tunas are oviparous, have asynchronous oocyte development, and spawn multiple batches of oocytes each spawning season.

    “Tropical tunas are oviparous, have an asynchronous oocyte development and spawn multiple batches of oocytes each spawning season (Joseph, 1963; Hunter et al., 1986; Stéquert and Ramcharrun, 1995; Schaefer, 2001).”

    From A review of the fisheries, life history and stock structure of tropical tuna (skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis, yellowfin Thunnus albacares and bigeye Thunnus obesus) in the Indian Ocean (2021) · cites this paper as Stéquert and Ramcharrun, 1995

    In “Structure de la gonade” (page unavailable), the paper describes skipjack ovaries containing oocytes at different developmental stages. In “Fréquence de ponte des individus” (page unavailable), it infers repeated egg releases during a spawning period, but presents that inference cautiously. The findings concern western Indian Ocean skipjack, not tropical tunas generally, and the paper does not explicitly classify them as oviparous. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • Reported individual fecundity for skipjack tuna in the western Indian Ocean ranges from 80,000 oocytes for a 44 cm FL female to 1.25 million oocytes for a 75 cm FL female.

    “Reported individual fecundity for skipjack tuna range from 80,000 oocytes for a 44 cm FL female to 1.25 million oocytes for a large (75 cm FL) female in the western Indian Ocean (Stéquert and Ramcharrun, 1995).”

    From A review of the fisheries, life history and stock structure of tropical tuna (skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis, yellowfin Thunnus albacares and bigeye Thunnus obesus) in the Indian Ocean (2021) · cites this paper as Stéquert and Ramcharrun, 1995

    The sections on fecundity versus fork length and fishing area (page unavailable) report fecundity measurements for western Indian Ocean skipjack, including females as small as 44 cm. However, the passages do not establish the claimed endpoints of 80,000 oocytes at 44 cm and 1.25 million at 75 cm; searches for those numbers and sizes did not locate them in our copy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
