To clarify the spatio-temporal distributions of larval skipjack and bonitos in the coastal waters off Taiwan and to analyze the early growth hostory, a 4 years study is conducted by month in the period from June to August by R/V Hai-Jeng and Fishery Research I with Maruadsi larval net. The study areas are separated to northeastern-, eastern-, and northwestern waters off Taiwan in each of the previous 3-year, respectively. In the 4th year, we will combine these data to constructe the transport mechanism and to analyze the early mortality rate for resource assessment of the fishes.
