Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

Abstract Changes to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralization in aquatic organisms is
among the many predicted effects of climate change. Because otolith (hearing/orientation …

Relative contributions of aquaculture-origin and naturally-reproduced grass carp
(Ctenopharyngodon idella) in the Laurentian Great Lakes have been unknown. We …

Abstract Black Carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus) was imported to the USA to control
aquaculture pond snails. This species has escaped captivity and occurs in parts of the …

Although otoliths are widely used as archives to infer life‐history traits and habitat use in
fishes, their biomineralization process remains poorly understood. This lack of knowledge is …

Fish otoliths are calcium carbonate biominerals found in the inner ear commonly used for
tracking fish biochronologies and as a model system for biomineralization. The process of …

Developmental abnormalities in otoliths can impact growth and survival in teleost fishes.
Here, we quantified the frequency and severity of developmental anomalies in otoliths of …

The focus of this study was to assess the potential of otolith microchemistry as a fishery
management tool for different European freshwater fish species in an Alpine foreland with a …

Otolith mass asymmetry can significantly affect the vestibular system functionalities; usually,
the X values of mass asymmetry vary between− 0.2 and+ 0.2 (− 0.2< X<+ 0.2). These values …

Otolith death assemblages provide a valuable source of biological and ecological
information that can help address three main problems in marine conservation:(a) the lack of …
