In this study, we investigated the growth dynamics and otolith shape asymmetry of two fish
species, Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (CN) and Oreochromis niloticus (ON), within urbanized …

Little is known about possible differences in sagitta otolith size and shape between sexes of
the shi drum, Umbrina cirrosa, and relationships between their body and otolith size. Thus …

A recent study was performed to assess the morphometric variation of otoliths of the
Decapterus kurroides collected in the northern Sulu and southern Sibuyan seas in …

Fish populations and communities are monitored using a variety of sampling gears, each
with their own inherent biases. Gear biases can arise from a number of factors, such as fish …

Teleost otoliths provide a pivotal medium for studying changes in population structure and
population dynamics of fish. Understanding the otolith-fish size relationship and intraspecies …

The otoliths of teleost fishes exhibit a great deal of inter-and intra-species shape variation.
The ecomorphology of the saccular otolith is often studied by comparing its shape across …

Abstract Round goby Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas 1814) has become a significant
component in the diet of piscivorous fish from the Pomeranian Bay (Bornholm Basin, Baltic …

The hypothesis that salinity and temperature influence otoliths of Atherinella brasiliensis
populations was investigated by comparing the morphologies and shapes of otoliths from …

Highlights•Round goby guarder and sneaker males had vastly different morphologies.•
Sneaker males were more bold, explorative and active.•Guarder males were more …

Observations of male alternative reproductive tactics (ARTs) in a variety of species have
stimulated the development of mathematical models that can account for the evolution and …
