Production and Mortality of Anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) Eggs off Peru* DANIEL PAULY MINA SORIANO International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management MC P.O. Box 1501, Makati Metro Mani/a, Philippines

Abstract The egg production of anchoveta was estimated by month from 1953 to 1985 based on estimates of mature female biomass batch fecundity and related factors for the period 1953-1985 off Peru (4-14°S). These theoretical cstimates of production were related to empirical estimates derived from egg surveys conducted from 1964 to 1985. This yielded estimates of egg mortality; a multiple regression model including parent stock size, sardine biomass, SST and SST anomaly explained a large fraction of the variance of these egg mortality estimates. However, how results suggest parent concentration (rather than parent stock size) to be the key parameter affecting anchoveta egg mortality, a hypotheses which will have to be tested in a future contribution.

Resumen Sc cstim61a producci6n de huevos mensual de la anchoveta peruana (4-l4°S) de 1953 a 1985 basado en estimaciones de la fecundidad biomasa de hembras maduras y factores relacionados para el perfodo 1953-1985 frente a Peru (4-l4°S). Estas estimaciones de producci6n te6ricas fueron relacionadas con estimaciones empfricas obtenidas de cruceros de evaluaci6n de huevos realizados de 1964 a 1985. Esto proporcion6 estimaciones de mortalidad de huevos; un modelo de regresi6n multiple que incluye el tamano del stock de padres, biomasa de sardina, TSM y anomalfas de TSM, explic6 una gran parte de la varianza de estos estimados de mortalidad de huevos. Sin embargo, como los resultados 10 sugieren, la concentraci6n de padres (mas que el tamano del stock de padres) es el parametro clave que afecta la mortalidad de huevos, una hip6tesis que debera ser probada en una contribuci6n futura.

IntrOduction Recruitment to a stock depends on (i) the size of the spawning stock and (ii) the survival of the eggs and larvae. Within fishery biology, an immense literature exists on how to forecast the recruitment of fish stock given a knowledge of spawning stock size, i.e., from the "top-down" (reviews in Ricker 1954; Cushing 1988). There have also been numerous attempts to approach the recruitment problem from the "bottom-up", i.e., through detailed analyses of the factors controlling the survival of eggs and larvae (see, e.g., papers in Sharp 1980 and Rothschild 1986). While generally, "bottom-up" approaches have been more costly, more data intensive, yet less successful than "top-down" approaches in providing management advice, it is nevertheless clear that management of important fish resource species should be based on an understanding of all aspects of their life history, including the early stages. In the case of the Peruvian anchoveta, sufficient data are available on the dynamics of the . parent stock, and on the distribution and density of the eggs to justify an attempt to identify the, major causes of anchoveta egg mortality. *ICLARM Contribution No. 507.

Materials and Methods

Two sources of data were tapped for this contribution: i) length-structured biomass estimates obtained by VPA (Pauly and Palomares, this voL) and which were used to estimate parent biomass, mature female biomass and egg production, by month, for the period January 1953 to July 1985, using a model to be briefly described further below; and ii) Ninety maps of anchoveta egg distribution based on egg surveys conducted from 1964 to 1985, and which were published and subjected to preliminary analyses by Santander (1987) and Senocak et aL (this vol.). The model used here to estimate the monthly reproductive output (RO), Le., egg production, of anchoveta has the form: n ... 1)

ROi = !-I Bij ' Pij' Aj' Sk' PFj' RF J=

where j is the number of length classes for which, in a given month i, anchoveta biomass estimates are available (see Table 1 for the definition of the other terms). Fig. 1 gives an example of the type of maps published by Santander (1987) and the first five columns of Table 2 summarize the key information pertaining to or extracted from these maps. Most important here is the fifth column, Le., the estimates of egg standing stock, derived by planimetry (Santander 1987). [Some of these maps represented surveys which had covered less than the 4-140S stretch of the Peruvian coast used here as reference. The estimated egg standing stocks for these maps have been, in these cases, extrapolated to the whole reference area using a procedure documented in Santander (1987). The detailed planimetry of Senocak et al. (this vol.), which did not involve any large-scale extrapolation, shows that no detectable bias was introduced by Santander's extrapolation procedure.] Table I.

Pauly (1987) had attempted to estimate anchoveta egg mortality by relating theoretical egg production (as estimated via equation 1), to the egg standing stock in Santander's maps. However, the model he used to calculate egg mortality (his equation 4) produced biased estimates when egg mortality was low (I.A. Gulland, pers. comm. to D. Pauly, December 1987), and his whole section on "the cannibalization of anchoveta eggs" (inclusive of his Table 2 and Fig. 4) is thus erroneous. We used instead an approach suggested by lA. Gulland (pers. cornm.). Defining Nd as the egg standing stock at the end of period D, and R as the initial size of a "cohort" of anchoveta eggs, it follows for that cohort, that: Nd

= Re- ZD

... 2)

where Z is the egg mortality from spawning/fertilization to hatching and D (days) is the egg development time. The parameter D can be estimated from: logleP = 6.953 - 4.09IoglO(T+26)

... 3)

where T is the sea surface temperature (SST, in °C) and which was derived by Pauly (1987) based on data in Santander and Sandoval de Castillo (1973) and equation (5) in Pauly and Pullin (1988). Under steady-state condition (assumed here to prevail shortly before, during and after a given egg survey was conducted and/or during a period of one month), equation (2) implies a mean standing stock (N) whose value can be estimated from:

N/D then corresponds to the above-mentioned map standing stock estimates divided by egg development time (see also Senocak, this vol.), while RID corresponds to the output of equation (1), reexpressed on a daily basis. Various plausible multiple regression models were then applied to the data of Table 2, our aim being to identify biologically acceptable factors explaining the observed variability in egg survival. The Rojas/Alamo database on anchoveta food and feeding habits (see Rojas de Mendiola, this vol.; Alamo, this vol.; and Pauly et al., this vol.) was also tapped for data on anchoveta egg cannibalism and the results were used to help interpret the output of our egg mortality models.

Results and Discussion Parental Biomass and Egg Production, 1953 to 1985 Fig. 2 and Tables 3, 4 and 5 present the results obtained by applying equation (1) to the biomass data generated by Pauly and Palomares (this vol.). The estimates of parental biomass in Fig. 2 resemble those published earlier by Pauly and Soriano (1987). As was the case earlier, the lone independent estimate of parental biomass obtained for August/September 1981 using the egg production method (Santander et al. 1984) is very close to our estimates of parental biomass for that period (see also Table 3, footnote).

8T and setting it equal to zero allows estimation of the temperature (Tmin ) at which In (N/(D.P)) is. minimum, i.e., Tmin = 19.8°C. Thus, our analysis of Santander's maps provides evidence for: i) parental cannibalism on anchoveta eggs; and ii) a parabolic relationship between egg mortality and SST, with maximum close to the upper limit of the optimal temperature range of anchoveta (about 15-20°C). One multiple regression model we derived, using the data in Table 2, to explain variability of our estimates of egg mortality, is: 'loglOZegg = -23.7 + 0.60810glOP + 0.37910g1OS + 0.505AT + 2.4T - 0.0751T2

which has an R2 = 0.562 and whose statistics are given in Table 7. Fig. 6 shows that this model gives a particularly good fit to SST and SST anomaly, and a less.er fit to the biological variables (parent stock and sardine stock). Again, SST has a parabolic relationship with egg mortality. Taking the partial derivative of equation (9) with respect to T gives:

which set equal to zero and solved for T gives T = 16.0°C. Thus, we find again that anchoveta egg momiity has a peak within the range of temperature that is optimal for anchoveta. ;;.,

Fig. 6D, which shows the positive partial correlation between anchoveta egg mortality and SST anomaly, suggests, however, that tbe observed parabolic relationship between SST and egg mortality do not reflect a causal linkage. Rather, SST, which fluctuates seasonally, is lowest in September-October (see Fig. 8 and Bakun 1987), during a period when anchoveta concentrate under the coast for spawning (Jordan 1971; FAa 1981; Csirke, this vol.). Anchoveta feed during the spawning season and hence, the peak consumption.of anchoveta eggs by adult anchoveta occurs in September-October (Fig. 7; Table 8). This could explain the apparent relationships between SST and egg mortality. As for SST anomaly, we assume that it is linked with anchoveta egg mortality via two mechanisms: (1) increased predation on anchoveta eggs by zooplankton and other predators not included in our models, and whose metabolic rate and hence, food consumption, can be expected to increase when the SST anomaly increases and (2) increased concentration of anchoveta within the small inshore patches of low SST waters that remain during high SST anomalies (Muck et al., this vol.). 1.5

Mean number of anchoveta eggs in the stomach of anchoveta sampled from 1953 to 1982 by Rojas de Mendiola (this vol.) and Alamo (this vol.), as extracted from their database (see Table 8 for details). Note strong seasonality, with a major peak during th.e major spawning season (September/October) and a minor peak during the minor spawning season (February/March). The scale on the right side provides an approximate conversion to egg consumption rate (see Table 8). . Fig. 7. Nl1mero promedio de huevos de anchoveta en el est6mago de anchoveta muestreada de 1953 a 1982 por Rojas de Mendiola (este vol.) y Alamo (este vol.J, extraido de su base de datos (ver tabla 8 para detalles).

La escala del lado derecho proporciona una conversion aproximoda de la tasa de consumo de huevos (ver Tabla 8).

166 Equation (~) predicts, for anchoveta eggs in August/September 1987, a value of Z = 2.13 day-l;.this is much higher than the value of 0.91 day-I presented by Santander et al. (1984). . Data are available which might allow resolving this discrepancy, and testing of the hypotheses presented above. Notably, a detailed analysis of the Rojas/Alamo database on anchoveta stomach contents emphasizing seasonal and interyear variations of egg cannibalism (i.e., going beyond the mean seasonal cycle in Fig. 8), and combined with corresponding estimates of anchoveta concentration, could contribute toward elucidating the role of egg cannibalism in anchoveta population dynamics.

The quotient of mean stomach content over ration is '" 3.7, but this estimate of turnover rate was increased to 5 to account for the facts that (I) most stomachs with eggs were sampled early mornings, when stomach contents are less than average and (2) that eggs are more rapidly digested than other food items.
