Fishes, 2023 Otoliths are paired calcified structures in the inner ear of teleosts that function in hearing and balance. In this study, the use of otolith morphometrics and shape analysis were explored to delineate the redfin species under the genus Decapterus from ...

Ontogenetic and sexual variation in the sagitta otolith of Menticirrhus americanus (Teleostei; Sciaenidae) (Linnaeus, 1758) in a subtropical environment [PDF]
Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020 This study aimed to verify variations in the form of the sagitta otolith of Menticirrhus americanus as to their ontogeny, sex and stage of such structure. Ontogenetically were found significant differences (p < 0.05) for all shape indices (aspect ratios,

Aquatic Sciences and Engineering, 2020 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

Glass eels and viruses – a lesson learnt from stocking the eastern German Baltic Sea coast
Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Accepted Article., 2022 Abstract Concerns about Anguillid herpesvirus 1 (AngHV‐1) in European eels, especially due to stocking measures, is increasingly coming into focus and raises questions regarding disease monitoring and prevention. In the past, stocking of AngHV‐1‐positive eels into waters assumed AngHV‐1‐free has led to a rapid increase of infected eels in the wild. For

Identification of gerreid species (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gerreidae) from the Pacific coast of Mexico based on sagittal otolith morphology analysis [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2012 Background. Although the species of the family Gerreidae have been subjected to many studies, their taxonomy at specific- and sometimes generic levels is still confusing. To contribute to the clarification of the taxonomy of the Mexican Pacific mojarras,

Fishes, 2022 Teleost otoliths provide a pivotal medium for studying changes in population structure and population dynamics of fish. Understanding the otolith-fish size relationship and intraspecies variation in otolith morphology is essential for the accurate ...

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2018 Using morphometric measurements and wavelets functions, the asterisci otoliths of curimatã, Prochilodus nigricans were analysed to identify the variation in shape and growth increment of individuals from Solimões, Japurá and Negro rivers of the Amazon ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Analysis of elemental and isotopic compositions and of the shape of fish otoliths has become an important tool in fish ecology. Highly relevant questions like origin and migration of fish over their life time cannot be answered easily with other methods.

Stock discrimination of the bogue, Boops boops (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Sparidae), from two Tunisian marine stations using the otolith shape [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2020 Background. The bogue, Boops boops (Linnaeus, 1758), is the most common sparid fish in the Tunisian waters. Despite its economic importance, the stock discrimination of this species is poorly understood up to date.
