摘要： Chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus) is a typical small pelagic fish in the high seas of the Northwest Pacific Ocean (NPO), with great ecological and economic values. It is crucial to understand the spatio-temporal distribution and the population dynamics of chub mackerel for commercial fishing and fishery management. In this study, we analyzed the population dynamics and stock status of chub mackerel based on commercial fishing data. Results showed that from 2016 to 2021, high catches of chub mackerel were concentrated along the outer edge of Japan or Russia's exclusive economic zone line, and the gravity center of the fishing grounds moved to the northwest gradually, with a decrease in the average value of catch per unit effort (CPUE) year by year. The fishing pressure may not be the major reason for the decrease in chub mackerel as the resource biomass was at a high level. The body length structure was reasonable, and large individuals were still present. The study highlights the fact that the population status of chub mackerel was healthy in 2016-2021 according to our results. However, it has to be emphasized that resource exploitation and fishery management also need to take into account the influence of climatic conditions.
