CTD profiles in the spawning area region of Anguilla japonica and A. marmorata observed at 16°E, 137°E (St. 2, 16 July 2016) and 14°E, 137°E (St. 4, 17 July 2016) by the KH-16-4 cruise. The thermocline is the area of rapid change in water temperature (orange line) with depth. The maximum salinity (blue line) and chlorophyll concentration (green line) values around 150 m occurred at the top of the thermocline. These two parameters showed subsequent rapid decreases; oxygen (pink line) decreased at depths of ~ 100 m.
