“…The present study evidenced morphological changes in otoliths from Atherinella brasiliensis , which contained vaterite and aragonite in their composition, being the first study to carry out the crystallographic characterization of normal and anomalous otoliths within the family Atherinopsidae. Several studies have characterized the morphology of otoliths from species of the family Atherinopsidae (Carvalho & Corrêa, 2014; Conversani et al., 2017; Tombari et al., 2010). However, morphological changes were reported only for Odontesthes bonariensis , though spectrometry analyses were not performed to check which polymorphic carbonate was deposited (Avigliano et al., 2012).…”

Sagittal otoliths are structures integrating the sensory system of teleost fish, assisting in balance and hearing and are normally formed by calcium carbonate as aragonite. Sagittal otoliths have intraspecific shape, the aim of this study was to check the frequency of anomalous otoliths and to characterize the crystallization of sagittal otoliths in Atherinella brasiliensis. For that, 45 specimens of A. brasiliensis were collected in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex (25°32'59” S–48°23'20” W), from which the otoliths were removed from the palate region. Raman spectrometry was performed on 30 otoliths; aragonite deposition was observed in otoliths without morphological changes (n = 26) and aragonite (n = 2) and vaterite (n = 2) deposition in those with morphological changes. Therefore, the frequency of otoliths with morphological changes was 8.8%. The fact that this is the first report of otoliths with morphological changes and deposition of vaterite for A. brasiliensis, demonstrates the need for studies that correlate environmental changes with physiological stress in estuarine fish.

“…Conversely, species associated with a consolidated substrate show values between 41% and 67% and a small rostrum. The aspect ratio and the presence of a small rostrum indicate that P. virginicus and C. nobilis inhabit consolidated and soft substrates, respectively (Brenha-Nunes et al, 2016;Santificetur et al, 2017). The absence of rostrum indicates that M. cuiaranensis lives in environments of unconsolidated sediment as mentioned for other species of the same genus Menticirrhus (Carvalho et al, 2020).…”

“…Several studies have described the morphology and morphometry of otoliths of species important for artisanal and recreational fisheries in southeastern-southern Brazil (Siliprandi et al, 2014;Brenha-Nunes et al, 2016;Maciel et al, 2019;Dal Negro et al, 2021). Conversely, few studies have been conducted in northeastern Brazil, making it impossible future studies of connectivity or fishing stocks for species with wide distribution along the Brazilian coast (Freire et al, 2017;Assis et al, 2020;Bot et al, 2020).…”

Sagitta otolith of three demersal species in a tropical environment

The objective of this study was to describe the morphology and morphometry of saggitta otoliths of Polydactylus virginicus, Menticirrhus cuiaranensis and Conodon nobilis in a tropical environment. Fishes were caught with rod and reel in competitive fishing events promoted in 2014-2015 along the coast of Sergipe. A total of 174 pairs of sagitta otoliths of P. virginicus, 181 of M. cuiaranensis and 77 of C. nobilis was extracted. In general, the sagitta otoliths of all three species analyzed here presented different morphology and shape indices. The permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) demonstrated significant differences among species and ontogenetic phases within each species using morphometry and shape indices. The linear discriminant analysis (LDA) presented a 98.3% correct reclassification of the otoliths by species.

“…12AF-AH). Otoliths from Centriscops humerosus (Richardson, 1846) were figured by Nolf (2013), while those from Notopogon fernandezianus (Delfin, 1899) were figured by Conversani et al (2017). Otoliths of Aeoliscus Jordan & Starks, 1902 are remarkable for their extremely extruding, pointed ventral field that is best visible from both the ventral (Fig.…”

Reconstructing fossil bony fish faunas using otoliths is a well-established method that allows a diverse and dense record in time and space to be assembled. Here we report about a rich otolith-based fish fauna from the middle Sarmatian s.l. (middle Bessarabian) from Jurkine, Kerch Peninsula, Crimea. The study is based on more than 5,000 specimens constituting 36 different species, 24 of which are new and 2 remain in open nomenclature. This assemblage represents the first major otolith association described from the Bessarabian. It also represents a fish fauna from the last continuous restricted marine environment that evolved in the Eastern Paratethys, was recruited from the Badenian/Tarkhanian fauna, and was not affected by the subsequent Khersonian crisis. The association of otoliths is characterized by a high content of endemic fishes that derived from the relatively well-known early Sarmatian s.l. (Volhynian) fish fauna, and it contains certain faunal elements that were trapped in the then-secluded Eastern Paratethys and did not range into younger strata. This forced endemic evolution explains the unusually high percentage of new taxa. The fish fauna is dominated by stenohaline marine shelf fishes apparently recruited from the Konkian and earlier Sarmatian s.l. (Volhynian) fauna after the Karaganian crisis. The families Gobiidae and Gadidae benefited most in this restricted marine environment, while deep-water fishes disappeared with the Karaganian crisis. In this study, we discuss the further evolution of Eastern Paratethyan fishes as far as can be reconstructed from the relatively limited data from post-Bessarabian strata, and we also outline targets for future research in the field. The stratigraphic sequence of the Jurkine section is being revised based on a detailed suite of benthic foraminifera. Implications for the stratigraphy of the middle and upper Sarmatian s.l., their boundary, and the paleoenvironments of this part of the Kerch Peninsula are discussed.
