Chemical analysis of calcified structures continues to flourish, as analytical and
technological advances enable researchers to tap into trace elements and isotopes taken up …

The otolith chemistry is one of the most commonly used tools to elucidate the structure of fish
stocks. The correct application of this methodology depends on the fulfillment of several …

The structure and connectivity of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) populations
remain poorly known and ecological evidence is missing to support the current delineation …

In marine fishes of commercial interest, defining habitat use and migration strategies through
ontogeny can help better understand the structure and dynamics of harvested populations …

Intersex gonads have been observed in thicklip grey mullet Chelon labrosus, inhabiting
estuaries with high burdens of xenoestrogens in the Southeast Bay of Biscay, but knowledge …

To use elements as salinity proxies, relationships of elemental concentrations with salinity
must be known and vary from freshwater to marine endmembers. To extend these proxies to …

Understanding population connectivity via fish movement and the appropriate scale for
management is amplified by the use of tagging techniques. Natural fish markers provide …

Estuaries are renown sinks or repositories of contaminants and reflect historical pollution of
persistent compounds. In particular, mercury (Hg) contamination is widespread in coastal …

Fishes often use multiple habitats to complete their life cycles, leading to their unique otolith
biogeochemical signatures. Interannual variability in otolith biogeochemical signatures is …

Otolith (ear stone) chemistry provides powerful insights into the lives of fish. Although
frequently used to reconstruct past environments, the influence of physiology remains …
