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 …

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 bioinorganic minerals within the inner ear of all bony fishes. They grow
incrementally, laying down alternating protein-rich and mineral-rich bands daily …

Fish otoliths are widely used to answer biological and ecological questions related to
movements and habitat use based on their chemical composition. Two fundamental …

Otoliths, the biomineralised hearing “ear stones” from the inner ear of fish, grow throughout
the lifespan of an individual, with deposition of alternating calciferous and proteinaceous …

The incorporation of a number of readily measured trace elements into otoliths is considered
to be under some sort of physiological control, but rarely are explicit mechanisms proposed …

The ability to obtain high-resolution chemical profiles across otoliths has expanded with
technological advancements that prompted an explosion of data from diverse taxa in …

Fish otoliths' chronometric properties make them useful for age and growth rate estimation in
fisheries management. For the Eastern Baltic Sea cod stock (Gadus morhua), unclear …

The Baltic Sea contains the world's largest anthropogenic deoxygenated zone, with
increasing episodes and areal extent of hypoxia/anoxia. Atlantic cod in the Baltic has …

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 …
