Japanese jack mackerel (Trachurus japonicus) is distributed in the semi-demersal layer of the continental shelf of the East China Sea (ECS), whereas their larvae are distributed on the surface. Notably, a smooth vertical habitat layer shift (HLS) to a deeper layer during their juvenile stage is crucial for the survival of this species. To elucidate the timing of the HLS, the authors analyzed the otolith oxygen stable isotope ratio (oto_d18O), which increases at lower temperatures and higher salinity (the conditions that the fish experience in the deeper layers of the ECS), at a high temporal resolution of minimum 5 days intervals.
