Abstract The Brazilian mojarra, Eugerres brasilianus, is an economically important species
for the artisanal fisheries usually found in the estuarine waters along the southwest Atlantic …

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 marine silverside (Odontesthes argentinensis) is an euryhaline species, distributed
along the southwest coast of the Atlantic Ocean, present in estuaries, brackish coastal …

The hypothesis that salinity and temperature influence otoliths of Atherinella brasiliensis
populations was investigated by comparing the morphologies and shapes of otoliths from …

Phenotypic variation of Scomberomorus brasiliensis otoliths was evaluated by testing the

Abstract The Atlantic spadefish, Chaetodipterus faber, is an economically important species
along the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, especially in the southeastern-south Brazil. Despite …

The study of otolith morphometry is a tool widely used in numerous studies of fish
populations (fish stocks, taxonomic, ecological, ontogeny, among others). The aim of this …

An analysis of patterns in otolith shape is an effective tool for discriminating among fish
stocks. Otolith shapes of Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) and Antarctic …
