Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

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 …

Otolith chemistry has become a key tool to identify and delineate fish stock units. Its
successful application as a natural tag in stock discrimination studies is based on the ability …

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 otoliths of teleost fishes have many practical applications in fisheries science, many of

The study of the morphological and chemical characteristics of otoliths have recently been
proposed as complementary tools for fish stock identification. However, their effectiveness …

Otoliths are remarkable recorders that store visual and chemical information that can be
interpreted with regard to individual fish phenotype trajectory, life history events and …

The chronological properties of otoliths are unparalleled in the animal world, allowing
accurate estimates of age and growth at both the daily and the yearly scale. Based on the …
