Schnute Model

To fit a growth model to Opisthonema libertate, the most common thread herring in a small pelagic fishery in the southern Gulf of California, size data of commercial landings and age were generated from sagittal otoliths assessed during three different years, 2005, 2008 and 2015, representing Neutral, La Niña and El Niño environmental conditions, respectively. A multimodel select approach on five special submodels of generalized Schnute model, including one, equivalent to the Von Bertalanffy model, were used. A total of 573 otoliths were analyzed; 219 from Neutral, 149 from El Niño and 205 from The Niña events. An opaque zone of otoliths formed in winter-spring when chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations were at a maximum. However, a hyaline zone of otoliths formed during the summer of the reproductive period. Schnute submodel 1 was the best model selected in all three environmental conditions, but submodel 3 was the best on pooled data. Length of thread herring aged 0.5 years old in the El Niño year was lower than other environmental-years analyzed. A possible compensatory effect on growth with age was observed in the data because environmental conditions affected the growth of 0.5-year-old thread herring, as was evident in size variance in this age group under all three conditions, but variance decreased in the older age groups. Thus, a multimodel average of Schnute submodels 1 and 3 could be used to describe the growth of O. libertate in the southern Gulf of California.

Se analizó la variabilidad de la productividad primaria en Bahía de La Paz, durante noviembre de 1997 y 2000, enero de 1998 y febrero de 2001. Se identificó Agua del Golfo de California en mayor proporción; Agua Superficial Ecuatorial y Agua Subsuperficial Subtropical. En noviembre de 1997 se registró el valor promedio máximo de temperatura (~27.62 °C) y en febrero el valor mínimo (~19.16 °C). El índice de Simpson (Ö) indicó que durante noviembre de 1997 (~286.6 J m-3) la columna de agua presentó mayor estratificación, mientras que en noviembre de 1998 (~60.4 J m-3) y febrero de 2001 (~94.5 J m-3) se encontró mezclada. En noviembre de 1997 se registraron bajos valores de nitratos (~1.52 µM), nitritos (~0.04 µM) y clorofila a (~0.44 mg Cla m-3). En febrero de 2001 se registraron valores mayores de nitratos (~7.46 µM), nitritos (~0.76 µM) y clorofila a (~1.07 mg Cla m-3). La productividad primaria superficial e integrada presentaron sus promedios máximos en noviembre de 2000 (~5.09 mg C m-3 h-1 y 75.54. mg m-2 h-1) y mínimos en noviembre de 1997 (~2.93 mg C m-3 h-1 y ~55.29 mg m-2 h-1), respectivamente. De acuerdo a investigaciones anteriores, los valores reportados de productividad son característicos de la temporada fría de la bahía con excepción de noviembre de 1997, que presentó influencia de El Niño. Primary productivity stimation during autumm-winter in Bahía de La Paz, B.C.S., Mexico We analyzed the variability of primary productivity in Bahía de La Paz during November 1997 and 2000, January 1998 and February 2001. Water was identified in the Gulf of California in higher proportion; Surface Water and Water Subsuperficial Equatorial Subtropical. In November 1997 we saw the average maximum temperature (~ 27.62 ° C) in February and the lowest value (~ 19.16 ° C). The index of Simpson (Ö) indicated that during November 1997 (~ 286.6 J-3 m) column of water with greater stratification, while in November 1998 (~ 60.4 m J-3) and February 2001 (~ 94.5 J m-3) was mixed. In November 1997 there were low values of nitrate (~ 1.52 µM), nitrites (~ 0.04 µM) and chlorophyll a (Cla ~ 0.44 mg m-3). In February 2001, there were larger values of nitrate (~ 7.46 µM), nitrites (~ 0.76 µM) and chlorophyll a (Cla ~ 1.07 mg m-3). The primary productivity and integrated surface presented their highest averages in November 2000 (C ~ 5.09 mg m-3 h-1 and 75.54. mg m-2 h-1) and minimum in November 1997 (C ~ 2.93 mg m-3 h-1 and ~ 55.29 mg m-2 h-1), respectively. According to previous research, reported productivity values are characteristic of the cold season of the bay with exception of November 1997, which showed influence of El Niño.
