Pitfalls in stock discrimination by shape analysis of otolith contours [PDF]
Abstract This paper focuses on artefacts that may corrupt stock discrimination by shape analysis of otolith contours, how one can examine if such artefacts are important, and how they can be avoided. The scope focuses on Fourier transforms of contour points, the linear Fisher discrimination technique, and success rates based on cross ...

The German Bight (North Sea) is a nursery area for both locally and externally produced sprat juveniles [PDF]
To better understand the role of the German Bight (GB) as a nursery area for juvenile North Sea sprat Sprattus sprattus we sought to determine whether the area may receive only locally or also externally produced offspring.

Patterns, causes, and consequences of marine larval dispersal [PDF]
Quantifying the probability of larval exchange among marine populations is key to predicting local population dynamics and optimizing networks of marine protected areas. The pattern of connectivity among populations can be described by the measurement of

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 ...

Identification of gerreid species (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Gerreidae) from the Pacific coast of Mexico based on sagittal otolith morphology analysis [PDF]
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,

Classification of time series by shapelet transformation [PDF]
Time-series classification (TSC) problems present a specific challenge for classification algorithms: how to measure similarity between series. A \emph{shapelet} is a time-series subsequence that allows for TSC based on local, phase-independent ...

Stock discrimination of the bogue, Boops boops (Actinopterygii: Perciformes: Sparidae), from two Tunisian marine stations using the otolith shape [PDF]
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.

Discrimination of Schizothorax grahami (Regan, 1904) Stocks Based on Otolith Morphology
Otoliths grow throughout a fish’s life and are important for identifying fish stocks and fish age. This study aims to differentiate different stocks of Schizothorax grahami (Regan, 1904) in the Chishui River, an upper reach of the Yangtze River, by ...
