[Spatial distribution and inter-annual variability of spawning grounds of Cynoglossus joyneri in the Yellow Sea coastal waters in summer].

With survey data from three voyages in the summer of 2014, 2016, and 2017, spatial distribution and inter-annual variability of spawning grounds of Cynoglossus joyneri in the coastal waters of Yellow Sea were examined based on Tweedie-generalized additive model (GAM). The results showed that the spawning grounds of C. joyneri mainly distributed in the Haizhou Bay ranging within 34°00'-35°18' N, 119°30'-121°30' E.
