1 Large pelagic squids, mid-level trophic gateways? Trophic ecology of two pelagic squids, revisited Matthew Parry, Ph.D. Pacific Islands Regional Office, NOAA

2 Why study the trophic ecology of these squids? They are a food source for many large pelagic predators- billfish, sharks, tunas, cetaceans etc. They feed heavily on mesopelagic fishes and squids Historical fishery (300,000 mt/yr), troubled finfish fisheries, new Hawaiian fishery Trophic interactions are fundamental to ecosystems and animal behavior

3 Ommastrephes bartramii-red squid Background Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis-purple squid

4 Background on squids

5 Sampling area

6 Methodology (stomach contents) Take out the stomach, and look inside. Makes intuitive sense. Sounds straight forward? Not really. Correlate what is found with identifiable parts, beaks/otoliths. Benefits species identification actual consumption low tech Limitations bias snapshot of feeding labor intensive reference dependent

7 Methodology (stable isotopes, 15 N) 15 N [(R sample /R standard )-1] x 00 R= 15 N/ 1 N 15 N value gets larger with trophic level (add on 3. each TL) (Mingawa&Wada, 19; Peterson & Fry, 197) Benefits non-biased assimilated material historical data time component (turnover) less time consuming Limitations 3. average where is the baseline? does not identify prey isotopic routing less tested in open ocean

8 Otolith abundance (family level): O. bartramii, n= 90 0 S. oualaniensis, n= O. b artramii % of total otoliths S. oualaniensis 0 Myctophidae Unidentified Gonostomatidae Melamphaeidae Sternoptychidae Photochthyidae Fish Family Evermanellidae Chauliodontidae Gempylidae Scopelarchidae

9 Otolith abundance (myctophids): % of total otoliths S. evermanni M. lychnobium or spinosum L. gemellerii M. selenoides H. rheinhardti or prox O. bartramii, n= S. oualaniensis, n= L. tenuiformes C. warmingii E. risso Myctophid species T. minimus O. b artramii S. oualaniensis D. perspiculatus D. fragilis

12 Feeding indices - breadth + overlap (Hurlbert,197; MacArthur and Levins, 197) narrow 0 B 1 wide overlap > 0.7 considered substantial (Macpherson, 191; Ellis et al., 199) Squid Red No parentheses - otolith data Parentheses beak data Breadth 0.5 (0.) Overlap 0. (0.) Red squid feeding Purple squid feeding Purple 0.0 (0.097) 1.1 (0.93) Purple squid feeding is a subset of red squid feeding but also shows differences in % and patterns

18 Historical 15 N signal Red squid eye lenses 15 N of O. bartramii 15 eye N lens segments Muscle Eyes lens segments r = Estimated mantle length (mm) length based on eye lens radius

19 Conclusions Red squid generalist feeder, purple squid more specialized Using 15 N to study trophic position in these squids yields reproducible results with a range of different tissues Purple squid increases trophic position throughout size ranges sampled, red squid increases trophic position rapidly and then reaches a relatively high plateau

20 Conclusions cont O. bartramii vs S. oualaniensis.competition?? Stomach contents vs stable isotopes - stomach contents indicate differential feeding - 15 N indicate very different trophic position Trophic position for these squids is highly dependent on size, however other factors (geography, individual feeding behavior, growth rate) can affect the shape of the 15 N vs size curve Need experimental studies looking at feeding and 15 N IMPLICATIONS FOR ECOSYSTEM BASED MANAGEMENT????
