Phenotypic variation in otolith shape of American shad across eastern North American rivers [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Otolith shape analysis has been widely applied to study population structure and environmental influences in various fish species. However, research on American shad (Alosa sapidissima) otolith morphology remains scarce, despite its potential to provide ...

Investigating otolith mass asymmetry in six benthic and pelagic fish species (Actinopterygii) from the Gulf of Tunis [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2021
Otolith mass asymmetry can significantly affect the vestibular system functionalities; usually, the X values of mass asymmetry vary between −0.2 and + 0.2 (−0.2 < X < + 0.2). These values can change during a fish life and therefore they are

Comparative Otolith Morphology of Two Morphs of Schizopygopsis thermalis Herzenstein 1891 (Pisces, Cyprinidae) in a Headwater Lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Fishes, 2022
Teleost otoliths provide a pivotal medium for studying changes in population structure and population dynamics of fish. Understanding the otolith-fish size relationship and intraspecies variation in otolith morphology is essential for the accurate ...

Relationship between Body and Otolith Morphological Characteristics of Sabre Squirrelfish (Sargocentron spiniferum) from the Southern Red Sea: Difference between Right and Left Otoliths

Oceans, 2021
Otolith morphology analysis is one of the main tools used for fish or fish stock identification. Moreover, otolith shape can also be used in animal dietary studies (stomach content) for the identification of prey fishes and their size according to the ...

Listening In on the Past: What Can Otolith δ18O Values Really Tell Us about the Environmental History of Fishes? [PDF]

, 2014
Oxygen isotope ratios from fish otoliths are used to discriminate marine stocks and reconstruct past climate, assuming that variations in otolith δ18O values closely reflect differences in temperature history of fish when accounting for salinity induced ...

Within-otolith variability in chemical fingerprints: implications for sampling designs and possible environmental interpretation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Largely used as a natural biological tag in studies of dispersal/connectivity of fish, otolith elemental fingerprinting is usually analyzed by laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS).

AGE, GROWTH AND OTOLITH BIOMETRY-BODY LENGTH RELATIONSHIPS OF RED BANDFISH (Cepola macrophthalma L., 1758) IN THE SEA OF MARMARA, TURKEY

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences, 2020
The age, growth, and the otolith biometry-total length relationships of Cepola macrophthalma (Linnaeus, 1758) were investigated. The individuals were caught with beam trawl in the Sea of Marmara from March 2012 to June 2014.
