Relationships between otolith size and fish length in some mesopelagic teleosts (Myctophidae, Paralepididae, Phosichthyidae and Stomiidae).

Journal of Fish Biology, 2015
Length-mass relationships and linear regressions are given for otolith size (length and height) and standard length (LS ) of certain mesopelagic fishes (Myctophidae, Paralepididae, Phosichthyidae and Stomiidae) living in the central Mediterranean Sea ...

Otoliths as biomechanical gravisensors

Advances in Space Research, 2002
This paper analyzes experimental data related to the reaction of otolith afferents in response to acceleration (Fernandez and Goldberg, 1976). It considers the assumptions that were the basis of the interpretation of the stimulus-response characteristics of afferents proposed by Fernandez and Goldberg. Comparing these experimental data with the results

Alkali Element Uptake in Otoliths: A Link Between the Environment and Otolith Microchemistry

Environmental Science & Technology, 2008
Otoliths taken from fish in the vicinity of rare element pegmatites in eastern Manitoba, Canada, were analyzed using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and found to contain lithium, sodium, rubidium, cesium, and strontium at levels ranging from a few ppm to a few 10s of ppm.

Contribution of water chemistry and fish condition to otolith chemistry: comparisons across salinity environments.

Journal of Fish Biology, 2015
This study quantified the per cent contribution of water chemistry to otolith chemistry using enriched stable isotopes of strontium ((86) Sr) and barium ((137) Ba).

The ultrastructure of the otolithic membrane and otolith in the juvenile mummichog, Fundulus heteroclitus

Journal of Morphology, 1980
AbstractThe sagitta otolithic membrane of Fundulus heteroclitus consists of two different zones. A structured zone (gelatinous layer), which usually exhibits a reticulated or honeycomb‐like architecture, is composed of tightly arranged fibrous material and covers only the sensory region of the macula.

The otolithic organs

1983
The otolithic organs are divided into the utricle and saccule. Birds have a lagena which is also called the third otolithic organ.

The Role of the Otoliths

2017
It has gradually been recognised that the gravitational vector, primarily mediated by the otolith organs in the inner ear, is utilised as a reference by diverse systems. Besides its obvious role in the vestibulo-ocular and vestibule-spinal responses (e.g. Yates et al.

OTOLITH FUNCTION IN MAN

Brain, 1989
An otolith disorder is described in a patient with a subluxed stapes footplate. Otoneurological examination, including tympanoscopy, showed that nonphysiological mechanical stimulation of the otoliths by a (pathologically) hypermobile stapes footplate typically manifests with a pattern of sound-induced paroxysms of ocular tilt reaction (OTR ...

Microstructure of Fish Otoliths

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 1985
Otolith microstructure examination has found an increasing number of applications in recent years. However, few workers have critically assessed the assumptions upon which the age and growth inferences are based or considered the potential for environmental modification of microstructural features.
