Abstract Round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas 1814) has become a significant
component in the diet of piscivorous fish from the Pomeranian Bay (Bornholm Basin, Baltic …

This study aimed to verify variations in the form of the sagitta otolith of Menticirrhus
americanus as to their ontogeny, sex and stage of such structure. Ontogenetically were …

Fish otolith shapes record ecological information of fish and are an important tool in
taxonomic, phylogenetic, and dietary studies. Shape and ontogenetic variations in the …

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. tricolor (20 to 85 …

The aim of this study was to test the effective separation of shape indices of otoliths of three
species belonging to the family Sciaenidae before and after in vitro digestion. We measured …

The hypothesis that salinity and temperature influence otoliths of Atherinella brasiliensis
populations was investigated by comparing the morphologies and shapes of otoliths from …

Few studies have been conducted on the sagittal otolith shape and morphometry of
Nemipterus randalli, and none of these studies has examined the effect of sexual …

Sagittal otoliths are structures integrating the sensory system of teleost fish, assisting in
balance and hearing and are normally formed by calcium carbonate as aragonite. Sagittal …

Fish earstones, or otoliths, are inner ear structures that can be studied to determine a fish's
age and are a source of taxonomically informative data. In the present work, sagitta otoliths …

The weakfishes, Cynoscion guatucupa and C. jamaicensis, are important demersal fishery
resources and are targeted by multifleet operations in the Southwest Atlantic. This study …
