Otoliths in bony fishes play an important role in the senses of balance and hearing. Otolith
mass and shape are, among others, likely to be decisive factors influencing otolith motion …

Morphometric analysis of biogenic recording structures within marine organisms has
applications in stock assessment, taxonomics, and ecomorphological studies, with shape …

The morphology and morphometry of otoliths have emerged as powerful indicators of
ecological characteristics of fishes. However, shape descriptors that can accurately predict …

A quantitative ecomorphological study was carried out on the sagitta otoliths of Antarctic and
Subantarctic nototheniids, a particularly interesting family due to its fast adaptive radiation …

The silverside Odontesthes bonariensis is a highly salt-tolerant freshwater–estuarine
species found in the Southern Hemisphere. The objective of the present study was to …

To check the suitability of otoliths for measuring biodiversity, the contour and shape of the
sulcus acusticus of sagittal otoliths were described using geometric morphological analysis …

The dentification of nursery areas is a basic requirement for fishing management in large
rivers. Morphometry (circularity, ellipticity, form factor, rectangularity and roundness indices) …

Otolith shape variation in the Ornate goby, Istigobius ornatus (Teleostei: Gobiidae), collected
along the intertidal coasts of the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, was analysed using Wavelet …

The sagitta otoliths of teleostean fishes are usually used in diverse studies. Their shapes are
species-specific, and the qualitative description of their morphological features seems to be …

[EN] Benthic fishes exhibit different adaptive strategies and different degrees of association
with the substrate. The aim of this study is to describe the morphologic and morphometric …
