SummaryLength–length relationships and length–weight relationships were estimated for four small pelagic fishes (Japanese sardine Sardinops melanostictus, Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus, chub mackerel Scomber japonicus, and spotted mackerel Scomber australasicus) in the Kuroshio–Oyashio current system. Fish samples were collected from surface–midwater trawl surveys and commercial purse-seine fisheries between September and October of 2020 in the western North Pacific. Total length (TL), fork length (FL), and standard length (SL) were measured to 0.01 cm, and whole body weight (W) was measured to the nearest 0.01 g for each individual. All length–length relationships (TL–FL, TL–SL, and FL–SL) were highly significant (p < 0.0001), with r2 > 0.98 in all species. Length–weight relationships (W–TL, W–FL, and W–SL) were also highly significant (p < 0.0001), with r2 > 0.98 in all species. This study provides a useful reference for biological studies and stock assessments of these small pelagic fishes.

Abstract. The Kuroshio Current System in the North Pacific displays path transitions on a decadal time scale. It is known that both internal variability involving barotropic and baroclinic instabilities and remote Rossby waves induced by North Pacific wind-stress anomalies are involved in these path transitions. However, the precise coupling of both processes and its consequences for the dominant decadal transition time scale are still under discussion. Here, we analyse the output of a multi-centennial long high-resolution global climate model simulation and study phase synchronisation between Pacific zonal wind-stress anomalies and Kuroshio Current System path variability. We apply the Hilbert transform technique to determine the phase and find epochs where such phase synchronisation appears. The physics of this synchronisation is shown to occur through the effect of the vertical motion of isopycnals, as induced by the propagating Rossby waves, on the instabilities of the Kuroshio Current System.
