Otoliths have been proved an appropriate tool to identify fish species, and they have been in use in studies of prey-predator relationships, population dynamics and ichthyo-archaeology. In addition, t
Micro-computed tomography scanning (µCT scanning) now represents a standard tool for non-destructive study of internal or concealed structure in fossils. Here we report on otoliths found in situ durin
Alligator Gar Atractosteus spatula is a species of conservation concern throughout its range and an examination of otoliths during early development would aid understanding its life history and ecolog
ABSTRACT The otoliths are structures species-specific of fishes whose morphologic analysis is an efficient tool for identification and discrimination of stocks and/or populations subjected to clinal v
We examined variation in the size and shape of sagittal otoliths from flexion larvae to post-settlement juveniles in the sand goby, Pomatoschistus minutus (Pallas, 1770). Sand gobies obtain their scal
