Abstract

Species of the family Leiognathidac in the Indo-Pacific area are often considered trash fish but are readily accepted in Indonesia, where about 50,000 tons were landed in 1975, 14,000 tons of which originated from the Malacca Strait area. The Western Jawa Sea, Karimata Strait and Indonesia's South China Sea stocks are underfished or, partially, even virgin and production from these stocks might be more than 100,000 tons a year. The leiognathid stocks, having their highest stock densities in very shallow waters (peak at 25 m depth) are easily overfished by trawling, while the bagan (lift-nets) tend to underfish them. In East Jawa, there is an annual periodicity in the fishery which is correlated with the rainfall, the peak landings being from December through March, while landings are lowest from July to September. Leiognathus splendens (CUVIER) makes up most of the leiognathid stock (90% and more). The main feature of the biology of this species ? growth, reproduction and food are briefly discussed. A short selected bibliography of the Leiognathidae is given.

Abstract

All species belonging to the Family Leiognathidae (genera Leiognathus, Secutor & Gazza) are bioluminescent. They emit during daytime a downward, diffuse light which tends to disrupt their silhouette, making them less discernible from beneath to potential predators. It is here assumed that the intensity of light emitted should correspond to the intensity of incident light at the depth at which each species generally occurs. Using published information on the relative intensity of emitted light in different species and quantitative data on the mean depth occurrence of the species, it is shown that there is a good correspondance in the ranking order of both light intensity and depth occurrence in five species (e.g. Secutor ruconius emits a strong light and occurs in shallow water; Leiognathus elongatus emits a weak light and occurs at greater depth). Species not fitting into this pattern (e.g. Leiognathus splendens emits a weak light but occurs in very shallow water) tend to occur in murky water, where less light is required for counterillumination.
