Morphometric analysis of biogenic recording structures within marine organisms has
applications in stock assessment, taxonomics, and ecomorphological studies, with shape …

Otolith morphometrics have been shown to provide a practical basis for stock discrimination
and subsequent fisheries management. However, the determinants of otolith shape are not …

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 …

Otoliths are used in taxonomy and ichthyology as they can provide a wide range of
information about specimens. They are an essential tool to monitor the most sensitive …

Otolith morphometrics has been shown to provide a practical basis for stock discrimination
and ageing. This approach has been extensively used by fisheries scientists over the last …

This study investigated and compared asymmetry in sagittal otolith shape and length
between left and right inner ears in four roundfish and four flatfish species of commercial …

The morphology and morphometry of otoliths have emerged as powerful indicators of
ecological characteristics of fishes. However, shape descriptors that can accurately predict …

Otolith shape analysis is an efficient fish stock identification tool. However, most applications
used left and right otoliths or only one of them arbitrarily chosen without testing for biases …

Atlantic herring, Clupea harengus, have complex population structures. Mixing of
populations is known, but the extent of connectivity is still unclear. Phenotypic plasticity …

Abstract In the Western Baltic Sea two genetically distinct cod stocks “Eastern Baltic cod”
and “Western Baltic cod” occur with considerable mixing of stocks. In this study we evaluated …
