Morphological, morphometric, and chemical analysis of otoliths have proven to be useful
tools for intraspecific comparison and identification of fish stocks. In the present study, we …

The otolith chemistry is one of the most commonly used tools to elucidate the structure of fish
stocks. The correct application of this methodology depends on the fulfillment of several …

The identification of fish species using otolith shape has been common in many fields of the
marine science. Different analytical processes can be applied for the morphological …

Abstract The concentrations of As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, and Zn were analyzed
in muscle, gills, and liver of Urophycis brasiliensis from two Southwestern Atlantic catch …

Abstract The European hake Merluccius merluccius is the third most valuable species for the

Identifying populations and establishing the connectivity between neighbouring stocks are
central issues for the assessment and management of coastal marine fish species. In this …

The white mullet Mugil curema supports several fisheries in the neotropical region;
nevertheless, the population structure is still elusive. The aim of this study was to assess the …

Phenotypic variation of Scomberomorus brasiliensis otoliths was evaluated by testing the
null hypothesis of a single stock across the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Otolith sampling of …

Otolith composition (edge vs core: Mg/Ca, Mn/Ca, Zn/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca) by LA-ICP-MS and
Elliptic Fourier analysis were integrated to evaluate spatial segregation of adult and juvenile …

Simple Summary Otolith geochemical signatures were important tools used to investigate
the population of commercially exploited fish species. Historical and contemporary otolith …
