Diel patterns of larval drift of honmoroko Gnathopogon caerulescens in an inlet of Ibanaiko Lagoon, Lake Biwa, Japan
Diel drift patterns of larvae of the endangered cyprinid Gnathopogon caerelescens in an inlet of the
Ibanaiko Lagoon, connected to Lake Biwa in Japan, were assessed in April 2012. Peak occurrence of yolk-sac larvae was within a few hours after dark. Drift of newly hatched larvae is considered to be an important biological mechanism that ensures larval dispersal and recruitment from the inlets (spawning grounds) to the lagoon which functions as a nursery ground.
Key words: Cyprinidae; endangered species; fisheries management; larvae; nursery.
