  1. What do we know about sprat??? - A survey through recent (German) research Material supplied by Gerd Kraus gkr@difres.dk Technical University of Denmark National Institute of Aquatic Resources HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  2. EU-funded Baltic CORE (Cod recruitment in the Baltic) and STORE (Environmental and fisheries influences on fish stock recruitment in the Baltic Sea) projects: -stock reproductive potential (viable EP) -Early life stages & Hydrography -Feeding, growth, survival -IBM modeling -Preator-prey interactions -Recruitment modelling & management aspects The German Globec Project (Trophic Interactions between Zooplankton and Fish under the Influence of Physical Processes) focussed on: -sprat & (herring) -copepods as key prey species -experiments, process studies, field sampling, process- to 3-D ecosystem modeling -Analyses restricted to Globec years (2002-2005) German Science Foundation funded project “Resolving Trophodynamic Consequences of Climate Change”targets sprat in the Baltic and North Sea: -time series analyses -Experiments; Process models -Coupled Tropho-Hydrodynamic modeling HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  3. German Bight Bornholm Basin German Globec • • Funded for 6 years (2002 – 2007) • 8 Institutions (incl. Difres) • • 11 sub-projects • • 80 scientists and technicians • • 12 PhD students • • 13 student projects (diploma) • 48 cruises in Baltic and North Sea • 736 days at Sea HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  4. Background / Hypotheses • Adult reproduction biology and distribution • Early life stage biology and relevance of early life processes for recruitment • Modeling approches -Hydrodynamic -Ecosystem -IBM -Coupling HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  5. Change to higher mean and higher variability in recruitment Stock-size and recruitment of Baltic sprat • Strong increase in stock size in early 1990s HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  6. Variable 1 Variable 2 r2 SSB Egg production 1 0.66* Egg production 1 Egg production 3 0.82* Egg production 3 Larval abundance 0.81* Larval abundance 0-group 0.32 Critical stages for recruitment • Larval stage is important during recruitment process ! HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  7. Simple model >11cm overall mean <11cm Adult reproduction biology – sex ratio proportion females length class [cm] HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  8. age group 1 high variable • age group 2 in general more than 90% mature with some exceptions Adult reproduction biology – maturity HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  9. R = 0.75 P < 0.05 • Good correlation between proportion mature age 1 with mean water temperature below halocline Adult reproduction biology – maturity HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  10. Adult reproduction biology - fecundity -Sprat is an indeterminate spawner, consequently only batch fecundity can be estimated -Relative fecundity (oocytes per g female and batch) is independent of fish size as for Baltic cod, but … -There are significant differences in batch fecundity within a season -There are significant differences between spawning grounds - There are significant differences between years HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  11. Adult reproduction biology - fecundity Multiple Regression Model: • Dependent variable: y = mean batchsize per 0,5cm length class • Independent variables: • x1 = length • x2 = mean water temperature y = -4988,36 + 335,70 * x1 + 358,31 * x2 + ε r² = 0,82 p<0,05 HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  12. 05/2002 04/2002 06/2002 07/2002 11/2002 01/2003 Adult sprat - horizontal distribution • Triggered by spawning/feeding migrations and modulated by temperatures • Large scale changes in distribution not understood! HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  13. April 2002 Adult sprat - vertical distribution Mai 2002 • Relevant environmental factors: T, O • Limits: ~5°C, ~1ml/l O2; however derived from few observations • Impact on diurnal vertical migration patterns! HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  14. Adult sprat - vertical distribuition model • Model based on Copepod model introduced by Neumann & Fennel (2006) • Diurnal vertical migrations behaviour parameterised! • 4 variables: Temperature, oxygen, light, vertical temperature gradient HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  15. Adult sprat - vertical distribuition model • Test against observed data possible, however needs to be tested and adapted outside spawning time! HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  16. Cold Winters! Early life stages - Egg survival Sprat eggs like it warm!!! • Survival rates account for temerature and oxygen HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  17. Eggs per stomach Total consumption Daily production Proportion eaten Consumption (n*10-9*d-1) Daily production (n*10-9*d-1) Early life stages - Egg survival Herring Sprat • Up to 20% per day of sprat EP lost early in the season HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  18. Early life stages - larval distribution • Recent period – May 1998, May 1999, April 2000, June 2002 • Ontogenetic differences in vertical distribution HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  19. Early life stages - larval distribution Night – Day Night – Day • Behavioural changes from late 1980*s to most recent period! • Early period: • Diurnal migration • Recent period: • No migration HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  20. Early life stages- larval distribution - feeding • Larvae feeding mainly during day-time! • Switch in main prey species when switching migration behaviour? HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn

  21. Early life stages- larval distribution - feeding Gut content Prey selection • Acartia spp. dominant prey 2002 and 1989! HM for ICES at Baltic RAC pelagic WG meeting Tallinn
