The Relationship

The jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas is the only ommastrephid commercially caught in Mexico. Despite the economic and ecological importance of this species, little is known about its early life stages. The relationship between the presence of paralarvae and mesoscale oceanic features was investigated for the first time in the central Gulf of California, Mexico in February, April, June and September of 2008. A total of 86 paralarvae were found only in June and September (summer season), in the well-stratified column water where the thermocline was evident and warm sea surface waters (27.7° to 29.4°C) dominated. The greatest abundance of D. gigas paralarvae was observed within 2.23 to 3.48 km of the main front. The mantle length of the smallest paralarvae corresponded with the mantle length at hatching. The San Pedro Mártir Island–Santa Rosalia transect and Santa Rosalia–Guaymas transect were determined as the main hatching localities in June and September respectively. The number of paralarvae found in this study contrast with the potential fecundity of mature females which are found throughout the year.

Se analizaron cambios en la distribución de tallas, número de cohortes y condición reproductiva del calamar gigante Dosidicus gigas utilizando muestras provenientes de siete cruceros oceanográficos de investigación, efectuados en la región central del Golfo de California, México de 1997 a 2008. En todas las estaciones se muestrearon hasta 25 ejemplares registrando longitud del manto, sexo y fase de madurez gonádica y cuando la captura lo permitió, se realizó un muestreo masivo de 100 ejemplares a los cuales se les midió la longitud de manto. Se definieron hasta tres grupos modales o cohortes en algunos de los meses estudiados a través de la técnica de distribución multinomial. De acuerdo con las fases de madurez se observó una amplia temporada de reproducción con dos picos importantes a lo largo del año que coincidieron con las posibles fechas de nacimiento estimadas para las tallas promedio por cada cohorte de acuerdo a la ecuación de edad-longitud usada en el presente estudio (abril – agosto y octubre - febrero). Se estimó la talla promedio de primera madurez por sexo a través de modelos logísticos; los machos maduran a tallas más pequeñas que las hembras aunque no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre las tallas promedio de madurez por sexo (P > 0.05). Los resultados apoyan la hipótesis de la existencia de múltiples cohortes de calamar gigante en el Golfo de California, dos periodos de eclosión importantes y el número de cohortes presenta variación interanual. Esto sugiere la necesidad de un monitoreo constante del recurso para un mejor manejo de la pesquería. Size distribution and reproductive condition of the jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas (D´Orbigny, 1835) in the Gulf of California Variations in size frequency distribution, number of cohorts, and reproductive status of the jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas were analyzed in samples from seven research oceanographic cruises in the central region of the Gulf of California, Mexico from 1997 to 2008. In each station we recorded sex, gonadic phase and mantle lenght for up to 25 squids. When possible, mantle length was measured for 100 squids. We defined up to three modal groups or cohorts for several months through a multinomial distribution analysis. According to the reproductive status, squids showed a long breeding season throughout the year with two major peaks that match the birth dates estimated by the age-length chart (April to August and October to February). The size at first maturity was estimated by genders; although males were mature at a smaller size than females, no significant differences between were detected. Our results suggest that size frequency distribution and reproductive condition of jumbo squid support the hypothesis of the presence of multiple cohort in the Gulf of California, two important periods of birth, and the number of cohort’s present variation, suggesting the need for a constant monitoring of the resource for a better management of the fishery.

Abstract Interannual oceanic oscillations, climate change, and extreme events present a significant and complex challenge to management of pelagic fisheries. In recent years, anomalous oceanographic and atmospheric conditions have been reported across the northeast Pacific, yet research results concerning the biophysical mechanisms impacting specific organisms, populations, and fishery systems remain scarce. Here we discuss trends within the Gulf of California’s jumbo squid fishery in the context of relevant climate drivers, ecological dynamics, and mesoscale oceanographic processes. Following the 2009–2010 El Niño event, the jig-based fishery collapsed as squid adopted the small size-at-maturity phenotype characteristic of this species in the equatorial portion of its range. Analysis of regional sea surface temperatures and heights indicates a pronounced shift in the oceanographic trajectory of the system between the 2009–2010 and 2015–2016 El Niño events, whereas in situ hydrographic sampling reveals coincident changes in subsurface temperature and salinity. With persistently tropical oceanic conditions present across critical portions of their pelagic habitat, jumbo squid have lost access to previously productive coastal foraging zones, which in turn has limited opportunities for fishery recovery. Given the importance of jumbo squid to the region’s pelagic marine foodwebs, the long-term persistence of such phenomena could have significant implications for local fisheries, economies, and livelihoods.
