Chemical constituents in otoliths have become a valuable tool for fish ecologists seeking to
reconstruct migratory patterns and life‐history diversity in a wide range of species …

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 …

Processes occurring in freshwater, estuarine, and marine habitats strongly influence the
growth, survival and reproductive success of salmonids. Nonetheless, implementing an …

Naturally occurring stable isotope and trace elemental markers in otoliths have emerged as
powerful tools for determining natal origins and environmental history of fishes in a variety of …

Nursery habitats are larval or juvenile habitats that disproportionately contribute individuals
to adult populations of a species. Identifying and protecting such habitats is important to …

Isotope ratios and elemental concentrations in otoliths are often used as natural tags to
reconstruct migratory movements and connectivity patterns in marine and anadromous …

Rationale Oxygen isotope ratios (δ18O values) of fish otoliths (ear bones) are valuable
geochemical tracers of water conditions and thermal life history. Delta Smelt (Hypomesus …

Abstract Knowledge of habitats used by fish throughout their life history is important for the
management and conservation of riverine fish populations and habitats. Naturally occurring …

Landmark-based truss morphometric analysis and elemental composition in otoliths were
used to identify the stock structure of Clarias batrachus inhabiting the river Ganga and its …
