Abstract |
Extreme environmental conditions, such as high and low salinity, are stressors for marine fish growth. Juveniles of marbled flounder Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae and stone flounder Platichthys bicoloratus use estuaries as nursery grounds. Our field surveys showed that the occurrence of juvenile stone flounder seemed to be unrelated to salinity, whereas that of juvenile marbled flounder was positively correlated with salinity. To examine the effects of salinity on feeding and growth of these species, we conducted a laboratory experiment in which juveniles were reared individually under constant and variable salinity regimes for seven days. Cultured marbled flounder of two sizes (23–29 and 48–58 mm standard length) were reared under constant salinities of 5, 15, and 30 and fluctuating salinities of 5–30 and 15–30 or 5–15. Wild stone flounder (23–37 mm standard length) were reared under constant salinities of 1, 5, and 30 and fluctuating salinities of 5–30 and 1–30. Commercial pellets were fed to fish twice daily until satiation. The feeding and growth of marbled and stone flounders were considerably low at constant salinities of 5 and 1, respectively. Meanwhile, suppression of feeding and growth was not observed in fish with salinities varying from 5 to 30 or 1 to 30, respectively. The results indicated that extremely low salinity inhibits feeding and growth of juveniles only with continuous exposure. Estuaries with fluctuating salinities are potential nursery grounds for both marbled flounder and stone flounder, although marbled flounder tend to avoid low-salinity environments in the field. This study showed that extremely low-salinity environments, which reduce juvenile growth when consistently exposed, would not affect distribution or growth if they were temporary around low tide.
