The objective of this study was to determine the regressions between otolith sizes and shape indices vs. fish length, and weight of whiting, Merlangius merlangus (Linnaeus, 1758), from the Black Sea. Samples were collected randomly from commercial bottom

Dispersal of larval and juvenile seabream: Implications for Mediterranean marine protected areas [PDF]
In the marine context, information about dispersal is essential for the design of networks of marine protected areas (MPAs). Generally, most of the dispersal of demersal fishes is thought to be driven by the transport of eggs and larvae in currents, with

The effect of growth rate on otolith-based discrimination of cod (Gadus morhua) ecotypes.
Otolith shape has previously been used to identify ecotypes within the Icelandic cod (Gadus morhua) stock, using DST profiles to validate the results. Fish otolith shape variation has repeatedly been found to be largely determined by growth rate.

Influence of open and closed river systems on the migrations of two northern New Zealand populations of banded kokopu (Galaxias fasciatus) [PDF]
Otolith microchemical analysis by laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to investigate the migratory life histories of banded kokopu (Galaxias fasciatus) in two streams on the North Island of New Zealand.

Otolith shape as a tool for representing different growth in young and adult yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares, Bonnaterre, 1788) [PDF]
The stock status of yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) (YFT) in the Indian Ocean is currently concluded overfished and is subject to overfishing. The information about the YFT population structure is fundamental for effective fisheries management and ...

Comparison of otolith readability and reproducibility of counts of translucent zones using different otolith preparation methods for four endemic Labeobarbus species in Lake Tana, Ethiopia [PDF]
The analysis of fish age data is vital for the successful conservation of fish. Attempts to develop optimal management strategies for effective conservation of the endemic Labeobarbus species are strongly affected by the lack of accurate age estimates ...

Otolith Morphology and Population Discrimination of Triplophysa yarkandensis
To study the classification, identification, and discrimination between different geographical populations of Triplophysa yarkandensis and explore the related otolith morphology and fish life history, this study statistically analyzed the morphological ...

The role of otolith size in hearing – Insights from cichlid fishes
Otolithic end organs in fishes function as accelerometers and are involved in the senses of balance and hearing (e.g. Popper et al. 2005). Otolith mass and shape are likely decisive factors influencing otolith motion, but while it is largely unknown how ...
