Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

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 …

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 …

We review the most comprehensive metabolic theory of life existing to date. A special focus
is given to the thermodynamic roots of this theory and to implications that the laws of physics …

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 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 …

Otoliths are calcified structures and the information contained within their chemistry or shape
can be used to infer life history events, migration patterns, and stock structure of a fish …

Otoliths are remarkable recorders that store visual and chemical information that can be
interpreted with regard to individual fish phenotype trajectory, life history events and …

Knowledge of metabolic costs associated with maintenance, foraging, activity and growth
under natural conditions is important for understanding fish behaviours and the bioenergetic …
