摘要: Highlights What are the main findings? The commercial small pelagic fishes (Decapterus maruadsi and Trachurus japonicus) in the Beibu Gulf were still miniaturizing. Fisheries management, characterized by reduced fishing efforts, cannot completely restore population structure in a short period. What are the suggestions for the future fisheries development in the Beibu Gulf? Continuing to maintain low fishing mortality and increasing the catchable length should be the key ways to achieve fishery resource conservation and recovery.Highlights What are the main findings?

In this work, we assessed the population status of two commercial small pelagic fish stocks in the Beibu Gulf (in the South China Sea) over the past 15 years (2006-2020). The analysis results show that the commercial small pelagic fishes in the Beibu Gulf were still miniaturizing, and fisheries management characterized by reduced fishing efforts cannot completely restore population structure in a short period. Continuing to maintain low fishing mortality and increasing the catchable length should be the key ways to achieve fishery resource conservation and recovery. Our findings will provide a key scientific basis for future improvements in offshore fisheries management.Abstract Long-term variations in population structure, growth, mortality, exploitation rate, and recruitment pattern of two major commercial small pelagic fishes (CSPFs) (Decapterus maruadsi and Trachurus japonicus) are reported based on bottom trawl survey data collected during 2006-2020 in the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. All individuals collected during each sampling quarter over a period of 15 years were subjected to laboratory-based analysis. In this study, the stock of D. maruadsi and T. japonicus inhabiting the Beibu Gulf was assessed using length-based methods (bootstrapped electronic length frequency analysis (ELEFAN)) to complete stock assessment in different fishery management periods (the division of fisheries management periods was based on China's input and output in the South China Sea offshore fisheries over 15 years, specifically divided into period I (2006-2010), period II (2011-2015), and period III (2016-2020)). The results showed that the mean body length, dominant body size, and estimated asymptotic length of two CSPFs decreased, whereas their growth coefficient decreased, indicating miniaturization and slower growth, respectively. Estimated exploitation rates and catching body length for two CSPFs indicated that both stocks in the Beibu Gulf were overexploited in period I and moderately exploited after 2011. These stocks were taking a good turn in status in period III, with the exploitation rate much lower than the initial period and reversing the downward trend in catching body length. Furthermore, the variations in the spawning season of the two CSPF stocks and their barely satisfactory expected yield indicated the complexity of the current fishery management in the Beibu Gulf. These results suggest that management measures to reduce fishing pressure may have a positive influence on the biological characteristics of those CSPFs in the Beibu Gulf; however, the stock structure already affected by overfishing will be a huge challenge for the conservation and restoration of fisheries resources in the future. Given that the current stocks of D. maruadsi and T. japonicus in the Beibu Gulf still have low first-capture body length (Lc) and high fishing mortality (F) (compared to F0.1), we identify a need to refine population structure by controlling fishing efforts and increasing catchable size, and more consideration should be given to the local fishery resource status in fisheries management.
