Data underlying the research of Differences in otolith microstructure between hatchery-reared and wild Triplophysa yarkandensis

By comparing the width of the first 40 daily increments of otoliths, it was found that the width of otoliths of wild leaf antelope was significantly wider than that of hatchery-reared Yelkandens. The otolith daily increment width of wild leaf lindens increased significantly with age and then slowly decreased, whereas the hatchery-reared Yercandens otoliths showed a more stable increase in daily increment width.
