Otolith chemistry has gained increasing attention as a tool for analyzing various aspects of
fish biology, such as stock dynamics, migration patterns, hypoxia and pollution exposure …

The fish otolith (earstone) has long been known as a timekeeper, but interest in its use as a
metabolically inert environmental recorder has accelerated in recent years. In part due to …

Otolith microchemistry can provide valuable information about stock structure and mixing
patterns when the magnitude of environmental differences among areas is greater than the …

Trace element concentrations in fish earstones ('otoliths') are widely used to discriminate
spatially discrete populations or individuals of marine fish, based on a commonly held …

The concentrations of elements and isotopes in fish otoliths may provide a method of
reconstructing movements of fish by differentiating between water bodies of different …

Seasonal and ontogenetic patterns in estuarine and coastal migrations of anadromous fish
species have important consequences to their survival, growth, recruitment, and …

The efficiency with which estuarine habitats produce fish is poorly understood due to the
complexity of life cycles. Spatial dynamics of estuarine fishes comprise retentive and …

The current concept of stock does not sufficiently accommodate the effects of migration
behavior on population dynamics. New insight on the prevalence and ecological …

The analysis of elements in calcifiedstructures of fish (eg, otoliths) todiscriminate among fish
