Resumen

La puesta de la sardina (Sardina pilchardus) y de la anchoa (Engraulis encarsicolus) se han restablecido en el sur del mar del norte después de casi 30 años de ausencia, apareciendo ahora juntamente con el espadín (Spattus sprattus). consecuentemente, poco se conoce de las interacciones entre estas tres especies en esta región. se ha llevado a cabo dos campañas entre Junio y Julio 2005, comparando la abundancia larvaria, distribución de tallas y la relación arn:aDn de estas tres especies de clupeidos entre: 1) zonas costeras (Mar Wadden) y mar abierto (Bahía alemana), 2) mezcla vertical, 3) zonas frontales y 4) masas de aguas estratificadas. en términos generales, la condición larvaria (relación arn:aDn) fue relativamente alta en todas las estaciones. aunque las zonas frontales actúan claramente como concentradoras de larvas, la condición larvaria no fue necesariamente más alta allí. Por ejemplo, el 9% de las larvas de sardinas capturadas en la zona de mezcla de marea fue clasificada en estado de inanición, mientras que las larvas de sardinas en estado de no inanición fueron capturadas en zonas de masas de aguas estratificadas. el hábitat de las larvas de sardina y de las larvas de espadín fueron más similares entre sí, mientras que las larvas de anchoas fueron encontradas en zonas costeras. este estudio es el primero en investigar la importancia del hábitat de estas especies en zonas costeras y mar abierto como áreas de cría, así como determinar hasta que punto existe una partición en los recursos (hábitat) entre las larvas de espadín y las de las especies nuevamente establecidas, sardina y anchoa, en el sur del mar de norte.
