Short summary
Japanese anchovy is a highly abundant and important fish, where its larvae travel and settle after spawning were modeled here. Most larvae remain in nearby coastal waters, especially in the Bohai Sea, the northern Yellow Sea, and along the southern Shandong Peninsula. In contrast, larvae from the Changjiang Estuary can travel much farther, reaching distant regions. This highlights its key role in connecting populations and provides useful insight for fisheries management and conservation.
