Otolith Morphology of Small Yellow Croaker (Larimichthys polyactis)in Yangtze River Estuary and the Application in Biology Study [PDF]
耳石为硬骨鱼类内耳中的钙化结构,主要起到听觉及平衡鱼类身体的作用。目前耳石形态学已成为国内外鱼类学研究的热点,涉及鱼类年龄与生长、种群划分、群体识别、生活史反演等多个领域。本研究以长江口小黄鱼(Larimichthyspolyactis)为研究对象,研究耳石形态与体长、体质量的关系,探讨耳石生长与小黄鱼特殊生长阶段的关系,且从生物学及耳石形态学角度综合探讨小黄鱼春季群体及秋季群体间的差异,并就耳石形态在两个不同生态群体间的识别作用及年龄鉴定作用进行初步探究,旨在丰富小黄鱼耳石形态学研究 ...
