Otolith chemistry has gained increasing attention as a tool for analyzing various aspects of
fish biology, such as stock dynamics, migration patterns, hypoxia and pollution exposure …

Otolith microchemistry can provide valuable information about stock structure and mixing
patterns when the magnitude of environmental differences among areas is greater than the …

We examined the status of diadromous (migratory between saltwater and freshwater) fishes
within the North Atlantic basin, a region of pronounced declines in fisheries for many …

reconstruct migratory patterns and life‐history diversity in a wide range of species …

The analysis of elements in calcifiedstructures of fish (eg, otoliths) todiscriminate among fish
stocks and determineconnectivity between populations is becomingwidespread in fisheries …

Fish otoliths are widely used to answer biological and ecological questions related to
movements and habitat use based on their chemical composition. Two fundamental …

Water chemistry is thought to be the primary factor influencing fish otolith chemistry.
Experimental results with freshwater and diadromous fish have been consistent with this …

Patterns of Sr/Ca variability in fish otoliths have been widely applied as tracers of movement
