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 …

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

Trace element concentrations in fish earstones ('otoliths') are widely used to discriminate
spatially discrete populations or individuals of marine fish, based on a commonly held …

Otolith chemistry is often useful for tracking provenance of fishes, as well as examining
migration histories. Whereas elements such as strontium and barium correlate well with …

Amazonian fishes employ diverse migratory strategies, but the details of these behaviours
remain poorly studied despite numerous environmental threats and heavy commercial …

Trace element: Ca (Ba: Ca, Mg: Ca, Mn: Ca and Sr: Ca) ratios in water and last growth
intervals (outer 45 µm) of dorsal spine and otolith edges from Genidens barbus collected in …

Chronological records of elemental concentrations in fish otoliths are a widely used tool to
infer the environmental conditions experienced by individual fish. To interpret elemental …

The white mullet Mugil curema supports several fisheries in the neotropical region;
nevertheless, the population structure is still elusive. The aim of this study was to assess the …
