A successful discrimination of fish populations is essential for sustainable management and
assessment. Otolith shape analysis has been used on several species to reveal their …

Aims of the present study were to evaluate otolith shape and estimate the relationships
between total length and otolith dimensions of S. sphyraena from the Mediterranean coast of …

Otoliths are calcareous anatomical structures in the inner ear of fishes, and they can be used
in the discrimination of fish species and stocks due to their species‐specific shape. Sagittal …

This study was carried out to determine the intra-and inter-population variations of chub,
Squalius cephalus, utricular and lagenar otolith shapes sampled from four localities in the …

In the present study, a comparison of the otolith morphology of Alburnus tarichi, collected
from different localities throughout Van Basin was carried on. A total of 351 specimens of A …

The phenotypical variability in otolith shape of anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) was analysed
in three zones (I, II and III) from north to south along the Chilean coast, using juvenile and …

In this study, otolith morphology and otolith contour from big-scale sand smelt, Atherina
boyeri were analyzed in Lake Eğirdir and Lake İznik (natural lakes), and Hirfanlı Dam Lake …

This study is aimed to discriminate Barbus tauricus stocks using otolith shape indices and
morphometrics. B. tauricus samples were obtained from some inland waters of Black Sea …

Engraulis encrasicolus is of great economic importance in the Mediterranean. However, little
is known about its stock structure. Otolith shape analysis has been successfully used for fish …

Length-weight relationship provides basic information of a fish's condition while the
