Evaluator: Dr. Heino O. Fock Thünen-Institute (TI), Institute of Sea Fisheries, Federal Research Institute for Rural Areas, Forestry and Fisheries, Palmaille 9, 22767 Hamburg, Germany PREFACE The present dissertation cumulates the results of my doctoral project conducted from April 2013 to July 2017. My project was part of the tripartite German – French – African project “Ecosystem approach to the management of fisheries and the marine environment in West African waters” (AWA) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) under the grant number 01DG12073A. Additional funding was provided by the German Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), the French National Institute for Research for Sustainable Development (IRD), the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea (IFREMER), and (especially for Chapter III) the UMR LEMAR 2012-2015 four-year plan (Team 3 on “Integrated study of ecosystem functioning and Western Africa cross-cutting orientation”). The project was designed to contribute to the understanding of oceanic processes that regulate larval fish distributions and assemblage patterns along the southern part of the Canary Current Upwelling Ecosystem. In the long-term, results are expected to support the development of an ecosystem approach to fisheries and the marine environment in West African waters. The results may further help to implement management measures (marine conservation and fisheries management) and may be used in biophysical models to increase the precision of hindcast and forecast scenarios of marine resources. My work provides insight into oceanic processes that are commonly observed in all world oceans and affect the life history of fish larvae. This dissertation comprises a general introduction to the topic, three peer-reviewed publications (Chapter I – III) and a synoptic discussion, including conclusions and an outlook. The overall concept of the doctoral work was developed by me in close collaboration with my supervisors, Dr. Heino Fock (Thünen Institute for Sea Fisheries) and Prof. Dr. Christian Möllmann (University of Hamburg).

SUMMARY Understanding processes that regulate dispersal patterns and survival of larval fish in relation to habitat structures as bottom-up drivers in upwelling ecosystems is the objective of this dissertation. To what extent do larval fish assemblages reflect species- specific adaptations to the physical environment in marine ecosystems? That’s only one of several remaining questions that have received much attention in the past, yet remain unanswered for all globally important marine ecosystems. The abundant small pelagic fish species in the southern Canary Current Upwelling Ecosystem (CCUE) provide livelihoods for millions of people, but the physical processes that drive abundance and distribution of these species are not well known. In order to understand vital processes in the CCUE that control the dispersal of larval fish assemblages, four surveys at sea were conducted between 2014 and 2016. The data framework, which was used to answer central research questions, was based on a combination of field work (expeditions with larval fish sampling), in-situ measurements of environmental parameters (salinity, fluorescence, conductivity, temperature, depth – CTD), community analysis (e.g. Cluster Analyses, Discriminant Analyses, Similarity Percentage Analysis (SIMPER), Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA), Random Forest Models, and Generalized Additive Models (GAMs)), and satellite based remote sensing data (sea surface temperature, sea surface chlorophyll-a, wind regime, absolute dynamic topography and geostrophic current vectors). Results from data collection served as the basis for preparation of my dissertation and are presented in the form of three scientific publications (Chapter I – III). In Chapter I, a spatiotemporal niche-partitioning of larval habitats was detected for the two most dominant small pelagic species, round sardinella (Sardinella aurita) and European sardine (Sardina pilchardus), constrained by species- specific upwelling regimes. In Chapter II, active larval vertical migration behaviour was revealed in an offshore upwelling cell. Species that occurred in the inner upwelling cell took advantage of a passive retention to circumvent a loss of larvae into unproductive oceanic regions during an upwelling event. In Chapter III, two larval fish assemblages were observed, each inhabiting one of two water masses that were trapped by two mesoscale eddies along a front. Chapter I provides insight into large scale processes that mainly influence the southern CCUE during summer and winter, and summarizes general conditions of the physical environment. It contributes a baseline understanding of ecosystem function as a response to broad meteorological and oceanographic processes that affect the abundance of larvae of small pelagic fish species. Chapters II and III investigated on a mesoscale upwelling fronts, converging water masses, a dipole eddy and cross-shelf variations that regulate the dispersal and composition of larval fish assemblages at the two main nursery areas (Senegalese sub-region and Banc d’Arguin) of the southern CCUE. Within the scientific scope of Chapter I, the results identified larval fish habitats constrained by upwelling intensities in the southern CCUE. While the occurrence of S. pilchardus larvae peaked during strong upwelling in winter/spring, S. aurita larvae were most abundant during the decreased upwelling phase in summer. The shift of peak occurrences of both dominant small pelagic species indicated a species-specific adaptation to the main physical process (upwelling) in Eastern Boundary Upwelling Ecosystems. Distribution patterns of both species exhibited a spatiotemporal niche partitioning. Under future scenarios of climate warming, where upwelling intensity is expected to change, this result may explain shifting dominance structures within fish assemblages that occur in the southern CCUE. The investigation into the impacts of upwelling on larval fish

  • Shallow Population Histories in Deep Evolutionary Lineages of Marine Fishes: Insights from Sardines and Anchovies and Lessons for Conservation
    Shallow Population Histories in Deep Evolutionary Lineages of Marine Fishes: Insights From Sardines and Anchovies and Lessons for Conservation W. S. Grant and B. W. Bowen Most surveys of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in marine ®shes reveal low levels of sequence divergence between haplotypes relative to the differentiation observed between sister taxa. It is unclear whether this pattern is due to rapid lineage sorting accelerated by sweepstakes recruitment, historical bottlenecks in population size, founder events, or natural selection, any of which could retard the accumulation of deep mtDNA lineages. Recent advances in paleoclimate research prompt a re- examination of oceanographic processes as a fundamental in¯uence on genetic diversity; evidence from ice cores and anaerobic marine sediments document strong regime shifts in the world's oceans in concert with periodic climatic changes. These changes in sea surface temperatures, current pathways, upwelling intensities, and retention eddies are likely harbingers of severe ¯uctuations in pop- ulation size or regional extinctions. Sardines (Sardina, Sardinops) and anchovies (Engraulis) are used to assess the consequences of such oceanographic process- es on marine ®sh intrageneric gene genealogies. Representatives of these two groups occur in temperate boundary currents on a global scale, and these regional populations are known to ¯uctuate markedly. Biogeographic and genetic data in- dicate that Sardinops has persisted for at least 20 million years, yet the mtDNA genealogy for this group coalesces in less than half a million years and points to a recent founding of populations around the rim of the Indian±Paci®c Ocean. Phy- logeographic analysis of Old World anchovies reveals a Pleistocene dispersal from the Paci®c to the Atlantic, almost certainly via southern Africa, followed by a very recent recolonization from Europe to southern Africa.
