Synchronous spawning is an important behavior to increase fertilization success of invertebrates with external fertilization. Previous work has shown that it is possible to induce spawning behavior using free radicals in tank experiments, but the stimulus for spawning in the wild is not fully understood. Ezo abaloneHaliotis discus hannaimainly spawn during stormy weather. Rainwater contains H2O2and iron (II) ions (Fe2+). We propose that during stormy weather water layers in the ocean are mixed and the surface layer containing H2O2and Fe2+interacts with the ocean bottom; this leads to conditions suitable for the Fenton reaction to occur. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) are generated during the oxidization of Fe2+by H2O2and we hypothesized these induce spawning behavior of abalone in the wild. This study observed thatH. discus hannaireleased eggs after salinity decreased due to the rainfall during stormy conditions. In addition, our tank experiment demonstrated that ·OH generated by the Fenton reaction induced synchronous spawning behavior between the sexes. This study provides a new hypothesis about control of synchronous spawning inH. discus hannaiand the results could be applicable to other invertebrates.
