Abstract

The jumbo squid Dosidicus gigas is the only ommastrephid commercially caught in Mexico. Despite the economic and ecological importance of this species, little is known about its early life stages. The relationship between the presence of paralarvae and mesoscale oceanic features was investigated for the first time in the central Gulf of California, Mexico in February, April, June and September of 2008. A total of 86 paralarvae were found only in June and September (summer season), in the well-stratified column water where the thermocline was evident and warm sea surface waters (27.7° to 29.4°C) dominated. The greatest abundance of D. gigas paralarvae was observed within 2.23 to 3.48 km of the main front. The mantle length of the smallest paralarvae corresponded with the mantle length at hatching. The San Pedro Mártir Island–Santa Rosalia transect and Santa Rosalia–Guaymas transect were determined as the main hatching localities in June and September respectively. The number of paralarvae found in this study contrast with the potential fecundity of mature females which are found throughout the year.
