Despite the diversity in fish auditory structures, it remains elusive how otolith morphology and swim bladder-inner ear (= otophysic) connections affect otolith motion and inner ear stimulation. A recent study visualized sound-induced otolith motion; but

Abstract Rivers and streams exhibit inherent variability in environmental conditions, particularly in water temperature and stream discharge. These factors can impact fish growth through both direct (i.e., physiological) and indirect (i.e., ecosystem productivity) mechanisms.

Morphometric-meristic characteristics and biometry of Otoliths of tigertooth croaker (Otolithes rubber) from the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea [PDF]
The Persian Gulf and Oman sea fish have valuable economic species. The purpose of this study was to evaluate morphometric properties and otolith biometry of Tigertooth croaker Otholites rober in Persian Gulf and Oman sea.

Climate change impacts on fish in the Baltic Sea
Abstract The Baltic Sea is a marginal sea with strong abiotic gradients harbouring fish of both marine and freshwater origin. Here we review the empirical evidence for how changes in climate variables have impacted different fish and fish communities in the Baltic Sea.

Water and otolith chemistry: implications for discerning estuarine nursery habitat use of a juvenile flatfish [PDF]
FUNDING This research was supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT, I.P.) via a postdoctoral grant to PR-S (SFRH/BPD/95784/2013), a Ph.D.

Abstract Freshwater eels (genus Anguilla) are of major biological and commercial interest due to their complex catadromous life cycle and as a high‐value fishery resource, but the biology of tropical species is still poorly understood. This study investigates the genetic integrity, diversity and population structure of three species of tropical eels ...

Otolith Chemistry Reveals Natal Region of Larval Capelin in Coastal Newfoundland, Canada
Identifying natal origins of animals is key to determining the relative productivity of natal habitats, dispersal of individuals among local populations (i.e., connectivity), and, ultimately, metapopulation dynamics.

Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and

Age, growth and sexual dimorphism of the monkeyface prickleback (Cebidichthys violaceus)
Abstract Accurate estimates of age, growth and maturation are fundamental to fisheries assessment, conservation and the development of emerging aquaculture species. However, life‐history parameters can vary within species and may be influenced by factors such as sexual dimorphism, which is often poorly quantified in non‐commercial or understudied ...
