A Preliminary Analysis of Ichthyoplankton on the Kuroshio Edge Exchange Area

Abstract:

Ichthyoplankton in the water column off northeastern Taiwan in the Kuroshio edge exchange area was sampled by round-mouthed ichthyoplankton net in June 1989 to understand the ichthyoplankton community structure and its linkage with the Kuroshio edge exchange process.
The distribution of ichthyoplankton exhibited a pattern of: a) high density in the northwest near the East China Sea; b) moderate density in the southern area of the Kuroshio Current proper; and c) moderate density in the intermediate area. Canonical correlation analysis indicated a significant correlation between hydrological and biological factors.
