What is it about?

In the present study, comprehensive studies were designed to examine the effects of both temperature and salinity conditions on the timing of key events and survival of G. macrocephalus during their early life history. Separate experiments were conducted on fertilized eggs and newly hatched unfed larvae of G. macrocephalus.

Why is it important?

This study is necessary to gain a “cause-and-effect” understanding of the impacts of climate change on G. macrocephalus of the northern Japan stock. Moreover, these experiments will provide some basic knowledge for the culture of Mutsu Bay G. macrocephalus embryos and yolk sac larvae.
