Listening in on the past: what can otolith δ18O values really tell us about the environmental history of fishes? [PDF]
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 ...

Otoliths are bioinorganic minerals within the inner ear of all bony fishes. They grow incrementally, laying down alternating protein-rich and mineral-rich bands daily. Consequently, otoliths are considered natural chronometers, archiving the growth and physico-chemical histories of individual fish, and thus are a powerful resource for fish biologists ...

Quantifying physiological influences on otolith microchemistry [PDF]
Trace element concentrations in fish earstones (‘otoliths’) are widely used to discriminate spatially discrete populations or individuals of marine fish, based on a commonly held assumption that physiological influences on otolith composition are minor ...

Detecting low-frequency underwater acoustic signals can be a challenge for marine applications. Inspired by the notably strong response of the auditory organs of pectis jellyfish to ultralow frequencies, a kind of otolith-inspired vector hydrophone (OVH)

Geometric Analysis of Luciobarbus barbulus (Heckel 1847) Otoliths With Body Shape. [PDF]
Otolith shape analysis is an effective tool for deciphering the population structure of small pelagic species. It has also been determined that there is no difference between otolith‐fish shape because otolith biomineralization is affected by many factors.

Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Seeking the True Time: Exploring Otolith Chemistry as an Age-Determination Tool.
Fish otoliths' chronometric properties make them useful for age and growth rate estimation in fisheries management. For the Eastern Baltic Sea cod stock (Gadus morhua), unclear seasonal growth zones in otoliths have resulted in unreliable age and growth ...

Otoliths are commonly used to discriminate between fish stocks, through both elemental composition and otolith shape. Typical studies also have a large number of elemental compositions and shape measures relative to the number of otolith samples, with ...

Experimental validation of otolith-based age and growth reconstructions across multiple life stages of a critically endangered estuarine fish [PDF]
Background The application of otolith-based tools to inform the management and conservation of fishes first requires taxon- and stage-specific validation.

Temporal stability in the otolith Sr:Ca ratio of the yellow croaker, Larimichthys polyactis (Actinopterygii, Perciformes, Sciaenidae), from the southern Yellow Sea [PDF]
Otolith chemical signatures are sufficiently stable across time to allow for accurate stock classification. The classification of the southern Yellow Sea population for Larimichthys polyactis (Bleeker, 1877) and its connectivity with others from 1962 is ...
