Microchemical analyses of fish otoliths have revolutionized fisheries science. Molecules
deposited within otoliths may originate from ambient water and diet, with molecular …

Biomineral chemistry is frequently used to infer life history events and habitat use in fishes;
however, significant gaps remain in our understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here …

The chemical composition of calcified structures in fish (otoliths, spines, rays, scales, and
vertebrae) has been identified as a useful natural marker of stock structure. This application …

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 …

Understanding linkages between natal and nursery habitats is critical for conservation of
riverine fishes. Scaphirhynchus sturgeons inhabiting the middle Mississippi River may …

Green sturgeon Acipenser medirostris spend much of their lives outside of their natal rivers,
but the details of their migrations and habitat use are poorly known, which limits our …

Otolith chemistry is an effective technique for evaluating fish environmental history, but its
utility in fisheries management has not been comprehensively examined. Thus, a review of …

The scalloped hammerhead shark Sphyrna lewini is a migratory species that exhibits
complex patterns of spatial organization associated with the use of both coastal and oceanic …

Sturgeon are found circumglobally throughout the northern hemisphere. Longevity, late age
to sexual maturation and infrequent spawning are typical life history strategies that have …

Worldwide, sturgeons (Acipenseridae) are among the most endangered fishes due to
habitat degradation, overfishing, and inherent life history characteristics (long life span, late …
