2 Background Recruitment success in squids depends largely on environmental conditions at the spawning and nursery grounds Stock size in Japanese common squid, Todarodes pacificus might fluctuate due to environmental factors such as the winter wind stress, air temperature, and mixed layer depth at the spawning grounds. Objective How to predict stock fluctuation of common squid related to climate change, based on the new reproduction and recruitment scenario.

10 Stock fluctuations of Japanese common squid ( (Todarodes related to climate change Todarodes pacificus) *How do climatic changes affect stock size through the reproduction and recruitment process? Is it sea water temperature, wind stress or MLD? *How do changes of wind stress, sea and air temperature or MLD affect the success of reproduction?

42 Summary How to predict stock fluctuations of common squid? (Especially, decline of winter stock during a cool year and regime) Strong northwest wind (fall-winter) Expansion of cold water area Feeding migration to Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea Shift of spawning migration route Segregation of spawning area between fall & winter Decrease of juvenile squid (springearly summer) and winter cohort catch (after October) Increase of mackerels? Southern shift of spawning area (winter)
