Otolith geochemistry is used increasingly as a natural tag to retrospectively determine
habitat use in marine fishes. It is necessary to first conduct a thorough assessment of spatio …

Otolith elemental signatures (Li: Ca, Mg: Ca, Mn: Ca, Cu: Ca, Sr: Ca, Ba: Ca and Pb: Ca) of
Age-0 juveniles of flounder Platichthys flesus and sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax, collected …

segregated juvenile and adult habitats. Knowledge of this link is fundamental in …

Estimating connectivity between juvenile and adult fish habitats can provide an important
contribution to effective fisheries management, through a better understanding of population …

The Senegal sole, Solea senegalensis, is a flatfish species distributed from the Bay of
Biscay to the coast of South Africa. Although it is a species of high commercial value its …

The distribution of Solea solea and Solea senegalensis in the Tagus estuary was studied
following a small-scale approach. Preliminary sampling revealed that sole concentrated in …

A description of variations in the chemical composition of fish otoliths at different spatial
scales and life history stages is a prerequisite for their use as natural tags in fish population …

Estuaries are highly valuable ecosystems that provide various goods and services to
society, such as food provision and supporting nursery habitats for various aquatic species …

The use of otolith geochemistry to track fish migration patterns and establish past habitat use
