Description
Summary:Studies using controlled laboratory assays were also contributed that develop our understanding of the mechanisms regulating elemental incorporation into otoliths, including growth rate, water composition, salinity, and temperature (Miller and Hurst; Martinho et al.). [...]Tonheim et al., identified the influence and importance of environmental and genetic factors for Clupea harengus otolith chemistry throughout the life of a fish, along with assessments of genetic contributions to phenotypic variability on the otolith microstructure. [...]stable oxygen isotopes of statoliths from the squid Sepioteuthis lessoniana were used to predict seasonal movement patterns (Chiang et al.), while the cuttlebone chemistry ratio was a promising growth rate proxy for evaluating differences among wild populations of cuttlefish (Chung et al.). Vertebrate were also used to provide the first validation of the annual formation of growth bands in the whale shark using bomb radiocarbon assays (Ong et al.). [...]intra and interspecific morphometric variation of scapula-coracoids of three skate species were analyzed to assess its utility as a diagnostic characteristic (Mabragaña et al.). [...]geometric morphometric approaches were used in scales to delimit fish species and assess how fish scale shape varies with genetic structure or with marine ecoregions (Ibáñez et al.; Pacheco-Almanzar et al.).
