Abstract
In this study, juveniles of chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were reared from eggs in six different temperature treatments, and their otoliths were subjected to micromilling and microvolume stable oxygen isotope (δ18O) analysis. We determined the δ18O values of otoliths (δ18Ootolith) formed at mean temperatures of 16.3, 17.6, 18.3, 20.0, 24.0 and 26.5°C and identified a linear relationship between rearing water temperature (T, °C) and δ18Ootolith as follows: δ18Ootolith (VPDB) – δ18Owater (VSMOW) = –0.25 (±0.01)T + 4.46 (±0.21) (R2 = 0.96, P < 0.01), where VPDB is Vienna Peedee Belemnite, VSMOW is Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water and the error values in parentheses are standard deviations. This species-specific temperature dependency equation for chub mackerel will enable accurate reconstruction of individual thermal histories and provide essential information for effective resource management.
