Otolith regularities

Hearing Research, 2000
The masses and the area sizes of the otoliths for the utriculus, sacculus and lagena of 15 species of the Black Sea fish are analyzed. Morphometrical otolith regularities are derived and their functional and ecomorphological explanations are suggested.

Fish otolith asymmetry: Morphometry and modeling

open access: yesHearing Research, 2006
11 pages, 8 figures, 1 tableMathematical modeling suggests that relatively large values of otolith mass asymmetry in fishes can alter acoustic functionality and may be responsible for abnormal fish behavior when subjected to weightlessness during ...

Otolith Biochemistry—A Review

open access: yesReviews in Fisheries Science and Aquaculture, 2019
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.

The Otolithic Membrane Mediates Otolith Organization

The FASEB Journal, 2016
Otoconia are small biocrystals that link mechanical forces to the sensory hair cells in the mammalian utricle and saccule, a process essential for sensing linear acceleration and gravity as well as maintaining bodily balance. In fish, structurally similar otoliths mediate both balance and hearing.

Testing of Otolith Function

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1985
In order to investigate otolith function, horizontal eye displacement in total darkness during tilting laterally about body axis was examined in 23 normal subjects and 29 patients with vestibular lesions. The mean and standard deviation of this eye displacement in normal subjects were 18.9 + 6.1 degrees at 15 degrees of body-tilt.

Compensation of Otolith Function

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1989
Horizontal eye displacement in total darkness during lateral tilting about the body axis was examined in 14 patients with unilateral loss of labyrinth function, including 8 cases of positional vertigo or dizziness and 6 symptom-free cases. The change in eye displacement following labyrinthectomy was also studied in 2 cases of labyrinthitis and one case

Otoliths and Uprightness

1979
Publisher Summary Positional reflexes from the labyrinth upon the limbs are shown to be asymmetric in their effects. The combination of labyrinth reflexes with neck reflexes serves to provide stabilization of the trunk. The pattern of labyrinth reflexes is altered by acute cerebellectomy and by destroying one labyrinth. The otolith apparatus responds

Testing otolith function

British Journal of Audiology, 1992
Otolithic signals contribute to; (1) perception of orientation and linear motion, (2) generate compensatory eye movements in response to linear acceleration of the head and (3) participate in the co-ordination of movement and balance. Tests of these functions shown to be useful in identifying clinical disorders have been reviewed: (1) Evaluation of ...

Otolith thermal marking

Fisheries Research, 1999
Otolith thermal marking is a widely used technique for identifying origins of hatchery-produced salmonids, using short-term temperature fluctuations to induce distinctive structural marks onto the otoliths of incubating fish. This has clear economic advantages over individual tagging techniques, where fins are clipped or materials inserted into the ...

Vibration of the Otoliths in a Teleost

2012
Fish populations comprise essential parts of marine and freshwater ecosystems as well as being the foundations of considerable human nutrition, industry, and economy. There is growing concern about the possible harmful effects from human-generated sound on fish.
