Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and
technological advances enable researchers to tap into trace elements and isotopes taken up …

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 …

The structure and connectivity of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) populations
remain poorly known and ecological evidence is missing to support the current delineation …

Accurate age data are essential for reliable fish stock assessment. Yet many stocks suffer
from inconsistencies in age interpretation. A new approach to obtain age makes use of the …

Although otoliths are widely used as archives to infer life‐history traits and habitat use in
fishes, their biomineralization process remains poorly understood. This lack of knowledge is …

Alternative migratory tactics in salmonids reflect the large observed interindividual variation
in spatial behaviour which may range from strict freshwater residency to uninterrupted …

Otolith (ear stone) chemistry provides powerful insights into the lives of fish. Although
frequently used to reconstruct past environments, the influence of physiology remains …

Anthropogenic deoxygenation of the Baltic Sea caused major declines in demersal and
benthic habitat quality with consequent impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem services …

This study investigates stock mixing of genetically distinct Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
stocks in the Kattegat, an area geographically located between the North Sea and the Baltic …

Accurate age estimates are crucial for assessing the life‐histories of fish and providing
management advice, but validation studies are rare for many species. We corroborated age …
