Is geometric morphometrics efficient for comparing otolith shape of different fish species?

Journal of Morphology, 2006
The 2D shape of sagittae of Encrasicholina devisi, E. heteroloba, E. cf. punctifer, and Stolephorus indicus, four tropical Engraulididae of New Caledonia, was studied with 1) dimensionless shape descriptors (form factor, roundness, and aspect ratio); 2) elliptic Fourier analysis (EFA) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) of 2D outline; and 3) geometric ...

Assessing local adaptation and divergence at early life stages within Eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Many commercially exploited fish stocks have declined over the last few decades. It is therefore essential to identify natural populations and understand local adaptation for sustainable management. Salinity is a key environmental factor shaping local adaptation, and adaptive trait divergence often occurs at the egg and larval stages.

Distinctive morphological variation of saccular otoliths in relation to hermaphroditism type in Sarpa salpa and Serranus scriba (Teleostei: Perciformes) from the Mediterranean Sea in Bizerte, Tunisia

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies
This study aimed to describe and compare the morphological characteristics of saccular otoliths (sagittae) in the protandrous hermaphrodite Sarpa salpa and the synchronous hermaphrodite Serranus scriba collected from the Bizerte site located in ...

Lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) growth and longevity estimated from adult capture–mark–recapture data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective fishery management policy depends on accurate life‐history data, particularly for harvested species. Longevity is a core life‐history trait that is directly related to annual survival and lifetime reproductive potential, but fish longevity is generally not well documented, particularly for long‐lived species.

Ontogenetic development of the sagittal otolith of the anchovy, Anchoa tricolor, in a subtropical estuary

Scientia Marina, 2015
In order to characterize the ontogeny of Anchoa tricolor, the morphology and morphometry of sagitta otoliths were described. A total of 397 pairs of sagitta otoliths of A.

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Estimating Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) length at first maturity from their age, sex and temperature experience around South Georgia

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) are a long‐lived, slow‐growing deep‐sea species endemic to the Southern Hemisphere and the focus of longline fisheries managed to ensure sustainable exploitation. Managing the fisheries relies on accurate stock assessments that include pertinent biological and exploitation processes.

Oxytetracycline as an otolith chemical marker in Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus): Technical feasibility in culture

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Reliable discrimination between wild and cultured fish is essential for traceability in aquaculture. This study reports the first successful application of intramuscular oxytetracycline (OTC) injection for otolith marking in juveniles of Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus).

An investigation into the diet of elephant fish (Callorhinchus milii) in the waters of Aotearoa/New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chondrichthyans (sharks, rays and chimaeras) are increasingly understood to be an important part of ocean ecosystems, but their ecological role is unclear. Callorhinchus milii (elephant fish) is a chimaera species endemic to Aotearoa/New Zealand and southern Australian waters.
