Patterns of distribution and abundance of larval phosichthyidae (actinopterygii, stomiiformes) in southeastern Brazilian waters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Horizontal and vertical distribution patterns and abundance of larval phosichthyids were investigated from oblique and depth-stratified towns off Southeastern brazilian waters, from São Tomé cape (41ºW.; 22ºS.) to São Sebastião island (45ºW.; 24ºS.). The

Validity of otolith age determinations for jack mackerel, Trachurus symmetricus, from the Southern California Bight area

open access: yes, 1974
The purpose of this study was to ascertain the validity of agedeterminations using otoliths of jack mackerel. The study consisted of two parts: (1)otoliths were examined for seasonal changes in the hyaline and opaque zones at the edges of otoliths and (2)a dominant year class was followed through consecutive years noting marginal zone changes.

Relationship between fish size and otolith length for 63 species of fishes from the Eastern North Pacific Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Otoliths commonly are used to determine the taxon, age, and size of fishes. This information is useful for population management, predator-prey studies, and archaeological research.
