Distinctions in the diets and distributions of larval tunas and the important role of appendicularians
Abstract
Monthly plankton sampling across the Straits of Florida (SOF) allowed for a thorough investigation of the feeding ecologies of four taxa of larval tunas (family Scombridae, tribe Thunnini) and the horizontal and vertical distributions of tuna larvae and their dominant prey. Before piscivory, Thunnus spp. larvae had a mixed diet of crustaceans and appendicularians, whereas skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), little tunny (Euthynnus alletteratus), and Auxis spp. displayed highly selective and nearly exclusive feeding on appendicularians. The availability of both appendicularians and larval fish prey declined from west to east across the SOF, and appendicularians were notably patchy. In the western SOF where prey was more abundant, all taxa of tuna larvae co‐occurred, indicating the sharing of resources by the larvae, in addition to the adults of these taxa using similar spawning habitat upstream in the Florida Current. In the central and eastern SOF, where prey was less abundant, only Thunnus spp. and skipjack tuna co‐occurred, and these two taxa exhibited significantly different vertical distributions. Prey removal rates (estimated from gut evacuation rates and daily rations) occurring in the western SOF where tuna taxa co‐occurred are likely to be sustainable by appendicularian levels within this region but would potentially not be by levels in the east. The spatial and trophic characteristics of these four abundant larval taxa highlight the potential influence of feeding‐rel…

Some scombrid species have shown significantly different vertical distributions in response to highly selective predation.
“Some scombrid species have shown significantly different vertical distributions in response to highly selective predation (Davis et al. 1990;Llopiz et al. 2010), and similar processes could be affecting the vertical distributions in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Larval BFT appear likely to feed on copepods, copepod nauplii, cladocerans and appendicularians at preflexion stages, before becoming more piscivorous postflexion.
“Studies concerning the diets of larval BFT are rare, but they appear likely to feed on copepods, copepod nauplii, cladocerans and appendicularians at preflexion stages, before becoming more piscivorous postflexion (Uotani et al. 1990, Llopiz et al. 2010, Catalán et al. 2011, Reglero et al. 2011).”

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.
