Determining the timing or frequency of movement of fish and the relative importance of
different habitats is difficult. Advances in otolith chemical techniques and interpretations …

Elemental concentrations within fish otoliths can track movements and migrations of fish
through gradients of environmental variables. Tracking the movements of fish relies on …

A possible life-history strategy of freshwater fish in brackish waters would be one of
migrations between higher salinity rearing/feeding areas and low salinity spawning areas …

Chemical constituents in otoliths have become a valuable tool for fish ecologists seeking to
reconstruct migratory patterns and life‐history diversity in a wide range of species …

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 …

Diadromous fishes may inhabit quite different water environments during their different life
history stages. However, it is very difficult to precisely monitor these spatial and temporal …

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

The concentrations of elements and isotopes in fish otoliths may provide a method of
reconstructing movements of fish by differentiating between water bodies of different …

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

Otolith chemistry is widely used to address key questions relating to fish ecology and
fisheries management; however, there is limited research on the relative contributions of …
