Little is known about possible differences in sagitta otolith size and shape between sexes of
the shi drum, Umbrina cirrosa, and relationships between their body and otolith size. Thus …

Fish otolith shapes record ecological information of fish and are an important tool in

The shape and structure of otoliths play a vital role in studying fish populations because
otolith shape indices are often applied to discriminate fish species. This study focused on …

Otoliths are important structures for balance and hearing of fish and constitute a useful tool
in fisheries science. This study provides, for the first time in the Mediterranean, information …

Invasive species are among the most important problems for biodiversity conservation
worldwide, particularly in megadiverse countries such as Brazil. However, there is no …

Otoliths are an excellent tool for analysing the pattern of habitat use between adults and
