Biology • Habitats : Ocean、Deep Sea、Coastal • Habitats Depth : 0 - 740 M • Max Lenth : 400 cm • Size at birth estimated to be about 60-70 cm in TL. • Ovoviviparous, with a uterine cannibal. http://fishbase.sinica.edu.tw/Photos/ThumbnailsSummary.php?ID=752
Characteristic • Wide distribution, and prefers temperatures of 17 to 22°C. (Casey and Kohler 1992) • Migration • Sexual/ontogenetic stage segregation

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.
Sample collection • Sampling period : 1992~2005 by the Japanese researchvessels and tuna longline training vessels. • Sampling amount : 275 individuals (128 males and 147 females). • Sampling site : western and central North Pacific Ocean.

DL, TL, FL with PCL PCL : 57.2 to 186.5 cm
Vertebral processing Boil the vertebrae Store it in 70% ethanol Cut off a single centrum Each centrum is cut into two longitudinal sections after drying Scrub it with a polishing buff Soak itin 6N NaOH The halfcut centra with the focus were used for analysis after washing away the bone particle and drying for 1 day
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)
The shadowing method • Simplicity • Visual clarity • Relative abundance of information amount • Less time-consuming process
Fig. 3 Half of a vertebral centrum with lateral illumination from fiber-optic sources. The triangles indicate a convex structure or growth band. This example is from a 137 cm PCL female, with a vertebral centrum radius of 9.5 cm, and an estimated age of 4.6 years
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 birthmark, were excluded from this analysis.
CR CR with PCL • The centrum radius (CR) is the distance from the focus to the edge of the centrum perpendicular to the direction of the cutting plane. The CR was measured to the nearest 0.01 mm
Fig. 6 Age-bias plot of 275 shortfin mako vertebral counts from two independent readings by the first author. The open and solid mark indicate the observed counts and the mean counts assigned by the second count for all fish which was assigned a given count in the first count up to 12, respectively. The vertical bars for the solid mark up to the first count of 11 indicate the 95% confidence interval. The one to one equivalence line is also represented.
Assuming that annuli (convex structures) are formed soon before or after 1 December, age in years was calculated as follows: x = the number of convex structure y = the month when the individual was caught (1≤y≤12).

Results Male : 53~240 cm (PCL) Female : 57~300cm (PCL)
Akaike’s Information Criterion AIC = n ln(MSE) + 2K • model N (no bandperiodicity) : 312.44 • model A (annual periodicity) : 271.89 • model B (biannual periodicity) : 316.24
The estimated growth equations t = age (years)
The estimated S.E. of L∞ for females was larger than that for males, while S. E. of K for males was larger than for females

Growth band formation • Convex dominant in the winter and concave dominant in the summer. • Neonates captured in May and June suggested that the formation of the first convex concentric structure (birthmark) occurs after parturition. • Branstetter (1987) • We determined that the growth increment between the birthmark and the second annulus is approximately 7 months.
Fig. 8 Comparison of growth curves to those reported in previous studies for a males and b females. The curves reported by Pratt and Casey (1983) were recalculated assuming one growth band pair formation per year
Growth comparisons among geographical regions • Eastern North Pacific (Cailliet and Bedford 1983; Ribot-Carballal et al. 2005) • Atlantic (Pratt and Casey 1983); (Natanson et al. 2006) • South Pacific (Bishop et al. 2006)
Conclusion • Our data from the western and central Pacific Ocean indicate that shortfin makos in this area grow slowly and mature late, and our results provide insight into the population structure. • A better understanding of the age structure in a unified regional framework will allow us to construct effective guidelines for the assessment and management of the shortfin mako population.
