Varying mesoscale structures influence larval fish distribution in the northern Gulf of Mexico
Open accessAbstract
The variability of mesoscale circulation structures in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) was examined using satellite altimeter data collected between 1992 and 2008, and linkages between ocean circulation and the spatial distribution of larval fish were assessed.The abundance and distribution of the larvae of 5 pelagic fish taxa (Auxis spp., Euthynnus alleteratus, Thunnus thynnus, other Thunnus spp., and Coryphaena spp.) were estimated from surveys conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Marine Fisheries Service each spring between 1993 and 2007.We observed a tendency for higher northward extension of the Loop Current (LC) during spring each year, with maximum northern penetration in summer, although the exact location of the LC varied from year to year.Generally, higher total larval abundances occurred during years of high northward penetration in a region that was crossed by the LC during its excursions.However, the interannual variability of the LC was not mirrored in a general increase or decrease of larval fish densities in the water masses out of the LC front.Further, the results show that larvae of T. thynnus and Auxis spp.were more abundant within the boundaries of anticyclonic features (usually between 148 to 158 cm of sea surface height) and within GOM common waters, defined as the background waters in between the boundaries of mesoscale features.Our findings suggest that the position and strength of anticyclone mesoscale features in the GOM define a favorable spawning habitat for the species examined.

In the citing paper
“In the GOM, BFT larvae were found most frequently in 'common waters' outside of the warm Loop Current and associated warm-core rings, and away from higher chlorophyll continental shelf waters (Muhling et al. 2010, Lindo-Atichati et al. 2012).”

In the citing paper
“The complex mesoscale eddy fields in the western Medi terranean, resulting from inflowing Atlantic waters, contrast with the periodic shedding of large, warm anticyclonic eddies in the GOM (Millot, 1999, Lindo-Atichati et al. 2012)”

“The northern and western penetration of the LC has been shown to influence the abundance of larvae for several of the taxa examined here [30], and therefore temporal differences in larval abundance may be linked to inter-annual variability in the penetration and shape of the LC.”

“For example, the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which was initiated during the spring spawning season of the western ABT stock, raised immediate concerns of the possibility of a year-class failure.”

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.
