利用

provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
大黃魚肉質細緻,十分美味,蒸、煮、炸皆宜。主要漁法為底拖網及底刺網,冬末春初漁獲較豐,台灣沿海並不盛產。在大陸東南沿海則是最重要之經濟魚種之一,年產量約五萬公噸以上。但是身為受歡迎的一種食用魚,導致本身面臨沉重的捕撈壓力,過漁問題嚴重,魚獲產量不斷下降,體型也不斷縮小。近年來大陸在舟山群島附近海域進行箱網養殖,已養殖成功。目前市場上的大黃魚幾乎清一色都是由養殖場所養殖出來的,野生種已經不多見。

棲地

provided by The Fish Database of Taiwan
主要棲息於沿岸及近海砂泥底質水域,大多棲息於中底層水域,水深約在10-70公尺之間,會進入河口區。厭強光,喜混濁水流,黎明、黃昏或大潮時多上浮,白晝或小潮則下浮至底層。主耍以小魚及蝦蟹等甲殼類為食。鰾能發聲,在生殖期會發出「咯咯」的聲音;在魚群密集時的聲音則如水沸聲或松濤聲;生殖季節到來時會群聚洄游至河口附近或島嶼、內灣的近岸淺水域。

Larimichthys crocea

provided by wikipedia EN

Larimichthys crocea, commonly called the large yellow croaker, yellow croaker or croceine croaker, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Sciaenidae, the drums and croakers. This species is found in the Western Pacific Ocean.

Taxonomy

Larimichthys crocea was first formally described as Sciaena crocea in 1846 by the Scottish naval surgeon, Arctic explorer and naturalist Sir John Richardson with its type locality given as "Canton, China". The genus Larimichthys, to which this species belongs, has been placed in the subfamily Otolithinae by some workers,[3] but the 5th edition of Fishes of the World does not recognise subfamilies within the Sciaenidae which it places in the order Acanthuriformes.[4] In 2011 specimens which were thought to be L. crocea were taken off Terengganu in eastern Peninsular Malaysia but these have now been classified as a separate valid species Larimichthys terengganui.[5]

Etymology

Larimichthys crocea has the specific name crocea which means "saffron" and is an allusion to yellow colours on the body and fins.[6]

Description

Larimichthys crocea has a dorsal fin which is supported by 9 or 10 spines and between 30 and 35 soft rays while the anal fin is supported by 2 spines and between 7 and 9, typically 8, soft rays. The soft rayed parts of these fins are largely covered in scales. The overall colour of fresh specimens is gold. This species reaches a maximum published total length of 80 cm (31 in).[2]

Distribution and habitat

Larimichthys crocea is found in the marginal seas of East Asia from western Japan and Korea to the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait and northern South China Sea. It generally thrives in temperate coastal waters and often also in brackish estuaries, and is found on muddy-sandy bottoms.[2]

Utilisation and conservation

Larimichthys crocea was once an abundant commercial fish off East and South China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan, its population collapsed in the 1970s due to overfishing.[7] Fishing boats landed 56,000 tonnes of Larimichthys crocea in 2008, and 91,000 tonnes in 2013.[8] The species is now aquafarmed in China, and production has grown to 105,000 tonnes by 2013.[8] Farms have experienced outbreaks of Nocardia seriolae infections.[9]

The IUCN classifies this species as Critically Endangered as there has been no recovery in the population and there is no evidence that the fishery for this species is sustainable.[1]

Genome

Larimichthys crocea is an important enough commercial species to have its genome mapped in 2014.[10] On 6 January 2015 it became the 200th organism to have its genome annotated by the NCBI Eukaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline.[11]
