- Abstract
Increasing sea temperature is a driver of change for many fish traits, particularly for fast-growing epipelagic species with short life spans. With warming, altered spawning phenology and faster growth may produce substantially larger body sizes of the new cohort, affecting fishery productivity. We present an individual-based model (IBM) that predicts the distribution of fish length at catch under observed and projected thermal scenarios, accounting for mortality, temperature-dependent spawning phenology, temperature- and photoperiod- dependent growth. This IBM was demonstrated with Coryphaena hippurus (common dolphinfish), a circumglobally-distributed and highly thermophilic species sustaining commercial and recreational fisheries where it is present. The model projected a 13.2% increase in the average length at catch under marine heatwave conditions compared to the current thermal regime (1995–2005 average). Projections under RCP scenarios 4.5 and 8.5 by the end of the century led to 5.1% and 12.8% increase in average length, respectively. Furthermore, these thermal scenarios affected spawning phenology differently, producing higher variance in body size under RCP 8.5 scenario with respect to marine heatwave conditions. This study highlights how the environmental effects of climate change can alter the distribution of species length at catch.

The common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is an epipelagic thermophilic species with a worldwide distribution in tropical and subtropical regions that is characterized by its migratory behavior and fast growth rates. This species is targeted by artisanal small-scale and recreational fisheries in most regions where it is found. This paper updates and analyzes the global scientific knowledge on the biology and ecology of this species, which was last revised at a regional level 20 years ago. This review showed an increase in knowledge about the population structure and regional differences in biological traits, in parallel with a notable lack of mechanistic and even empirical knowledge about the ecology of this species, which hampers a good understanding of the population dynamics and the potential impacts of environmental change. This paper also updates the information about the Mediterranean dolphinfish fishery, where the main four countries that exploit this species deploy 30% of fish aggregation devices (FAD) worldwide. The results suggest, among other effects, some temporal synchronicity in landings across countries, potential interannual stock movement affecting inter-country catches, diverging trends in prices and insufficient quality in the estimates of fishing effort. The authors propose a suite of specific measures to ameliorate this lack of knowledge and to better manage this complex living resource.

- Abstract
Le présent travail se propose d’expliquer les stratégies reproductrices adoptées par la dorade coryphène Coryphaena hippurus Linnaeus, 1758, sur la base de données biométriques combinées à l’étude des structures microscopiques ovariennes et testiculaires faites sur des échantillons cumulés sur deux années, et à un suivi périodique et régulier des débarquements. La dorade coryphène est un poisson gonochorique dont le développement ovocytaire est du type asynchrone, puisqu’en période de reproduction la structure ovarienne est quadrimodale avec la présence simultanée de tous les types d’ovocytes : primordiaux, prévitellogéniques, vitellogéniques et ovules. Confirmé par l’évolution de l’indice gonadosomatique et la biométrie ovarienne, ce constat permet de conclure que cette espèce se reproduit bien dans les eaux tunisiennes et qu’elle se caractérise par des pontes répétées et étalées dans le temps, de mai à septembre.

- Abstract
Les contenus stomacaux de 178 individus de Coryphaena hippurus, de longueur à la fourche (LF) comprise entre 18 et 82 cm et de poids individuel compris entre 71 et 5 880 g, pêchés sur les côtes tunisiennes entre juillet et décembre 2010, ont été analysés. Cette espèce pélagique, prédatrice et opportuniste, se nourrit de téléostéens comme proies préférentielles et de crustacés comme proies secondaires ou accessoires. Les juvéniles (< 25 cm LF) s’alimentent d’espèces exclusivement pélagiques, Clupeidae et engraulidae, alors que les moins jeunes (25-50 cm LF) se nourrissent d’espèces épipélagiques, Scombridae et Belonidae. Les espèces benthiques, sparidae, Congridae, Mugilidae et dactylopteridae, sont les proies des sub-adultes (> 50 cm LF). Les crustacés sont représentés essentiellement par les Amphipodes (Hyperiidae) chez les juvéniles de moins de 25 cm LF, par les euphausiacés pour la classe de taille 25-50 cm LF et par les décapodes pour les individus de plus de 50 cm LF. La présence de proies typiquement benthiques, tel que le céphalopode Sepia officinalis, montre les grandes performances de chasse et l’opportunisme de la dorade coryphène, qui est donc capable d’aller chercher ses proies sur les fonds marins.
