Age and growth analysis of the shortfin mako, Isurus oxyrinchus, in the western and central North Pacific Ocean 西部和中部北太平洋海域灰鯖鮫 之年齡成長分析 Shortfin Mako Kingdom Animalia Phylum Chordata Class Chondrichthyes Subclass Elasmobranchii Order Lamniformes Family Lamnidae Genus Isurus Species oxyrinchus 中文名 灰鯖鮫 Introduction Biology Characteristic Wide distribution, and prefers temperatures of 17 to 22°C. (Casey and Kohler 1992) Migration Sexual/ontogenetic stage segregation Distribution Sustainable Development The recent and rapid collapse of large predatory fish populations is a global concern (Myers and Worm 2003, 2005). Information on life history parameters derived from age and growth analyses plays an integral role. Age determination is an important component of population analyses. In addition, the growth curves generated in this study were compared to those for populations in other geographic regions. Materials and methods Sample collection Sampling period : 1992~2005 by the Japanese research vessels and tuna longline training vessels. Sampling amount : 275 individuals (128 males and 147 females). Sampling site : western and central North Pacific Ocean. /.../Images/test DL, TL, FL with PCL Step Vertebral processing Four techniques to enhance vertebral growth bands shadowing (half-cut centra; Francis and Maolagáin 2000) alizarin staining (section;Berry et al. 1977) silver nitrate staining (whole centra; Stevens 1975) soft X-radiography (whole or half-cut centra; Cailliet et al. 1983) Method of age determination The shadowing method Simplicity Visual clarity Relative abundance of information amount Less time-consuming process Age determination In this way, the convex and concave structures were observed as light and dark regions, respectively. These structures correspond to the opaque (convex) and translucent (concave) regions observed in the sagittal section. The vertebrae of neonates, which displayed only a b
