Abstract Changes to calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralization in aquatic organisms is
among the many predicted effects of climate change. Because otolith (hearing/orientation …

Otoliths, calcified structures in the inner ears, are used to estimate fish age, and their shape
is an efficient fish stock identification tool. Otoliths are thus very important for the …

Humans are rapidly changing the marine environment through a multitude of effects,
including increased greenhouse gas emissions resulting in warmer and acidified oceans …

Background Progressive CO2-induced ocean acidification (OA) impacts marine life in ways
that are difficult to predict but are likely to become exacerbated over generations. Although …

Triphenyltin (TPT) is a typical persistent organic pollutant whose occurrence in coral reef
ecosystems may threaten the survival of reef fishes. In this study, a brightly colored …

Teleost otoliths provide a pivotal medium for studying changes in population structure and
population dynamics of fish. Understanding the otolith-fish size relationship and intraspecies …

Increased water temperature and ocean acidification, due to climate change, is predicted to
impact aquatic species' growth, physiology and calcification rates. The present study …

All teleost fish calcify and produce structures known as otoliths confined by saccular
epithelia in the inner ear. These structures enable detection of acceleration/movement …

Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is a coastal-dwelling soniferous, commercially
important fish species that is sensitive to sound. An understanding of how ocean …

Sagitta otoliths are usually formed of calcium carbonate polymorphs as aragonite. The
objective of this study was to verify which carbonate polymorph is predominant in the sagitta …
