“…For example, maternal transfer of elements to the progeny's calcified structures via yolk has been suspected (Brophy et al 2004, Ruttenberg et al 2005, Chittaro et al 2006; element enrichment was found in the cores of juvenile otoliths in several species of fish and it was speculated that, among other factors, the enrichment was due to maternal contributions of elements to the eggs. Building on work by Rieman et al (1994) and Limburg et al (2001) who initially investigated transgenerational marking, Thorrold et al (2006) provided conclusive evidence for the maternal transfer of elements via yolk. They injected both a benthic species and a broadcast spawning species of fish with 137 Ba and detected elevated levels of 137 Ba in the resulting progeny.…”

Elemental signatures have been used as a tool to track individual organisms to their natal site in an attempt to understand stock structure and larval dispersal. However, factors that affect elemental signatures are not well understood. We conducted a factorial experiment using whelk Kelletia kelletii larvae from Salta Verde Point on Catalina Island, Los Angeles Harbor, and White Point, Palos Verdes peninsula, California, USA, to test the effects of egg source, temperature (10, 14 and 18°C) and culture seawater on the elemental composition of larval statoliths. Intra-capsular contents of newly laid capsules were also analyzed to explore whether maternal contributions might affect larval statolith chemistry. Using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry we quantified ratios of 7 elements to calcium in both intra-capsular contents and cultured statoliths and provided the first evidence of significant egg-source effects, independent of subsequently experienced environmental conditions, on statolith elemental signatures for Mg:Ca, Ba:Ca and Pb:Ca. Intra-capsular and statolith element ratios showed no clear relationship that might have indicated possible maternal transfer of elements to larvae. Culture seawater elemental concentration was positively related to statolith Ba:Ca and Pb:Ca, and temperature was negatively related to statolith Sr:Ca, Ba:Ca and Pb:Ca, while no significant effects were found for Mn:Ca or Zn:Ca. Effect-size estimates show that elements responded differently to factors within the variation measured in this study; the major effects for Ba and Pb were temperature and egg source, respectively. The significant effect of egg source on elemental signatures has potentially important implications for tracking free-spawned larvae.

Many larvae begin forming their calcified structures at or near the site of production and, thus, potentially carry a permanent elemental signature of the site of origin. When larvae enter the water column and move through ocean masses with variable physical and chemical characteristics, these changes can be recorded in the elemental composition of calcified structures. In principle, not only can the site of origin be identified, but subsequent larval movement also can be tracked using statolith elemental signatures.To identify any particul...

“…Thus, it does not appear likely that occurrence of parr from both clusters in the creeks is caused by movement of young fish from their natal site to the place of collection. Records of migrating parr under one year of age do exist (Thorpe 1974;Bagliniére et al 1994;Limburg et al 2001), but such parr are reported to migrate in autumn-winter, after at least one growing season (Trophe 1974;Bagliniére et al 1994). We collected the young fish in late summer-early autumn; thus, the bulk of our samples should have been collected before such dispersal started.…”

isolated while the other one shows high genetic similarity to downstream populations. There are indications of different spawning sites as reflected in genetic structuring among parr from different creeks. We used >3000 SNPs on a subsample and find that the SNPs largely confirm the allozyme pattern but give considerably lower F ST values, and potentially indicate further structuring within populations. This type of complex genetic substructuring over microgeographical scales might be more common than anticipated and needs to be considered in conservation management.

“…4). Thus, the Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths can be used to reconstruct the migratory environmental history of the mullet, as for other fishes (Tzeng & Tsai 1994, Secor et al 1995, Secor & Rooker 2000, Limburg et al 2001.…”

“…The ratios of strontium (Sr) to calcium (Ca) in otoliths are positively correlated to ambient salinities (Secor et al 1995, Tzeng 1996, Kawakami et al 1998. The temporal changes of Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths have been widely applied to determine the migratory environmental histories of diadromous fishes between freshwater and marine environments, including anadromous salmonids (Kalish 1990, Howland et al 2001, Limburg et al 2001, striped bass (Secor 1992, Secor & Piccoli 1996 and catadromous freshwater eels (Tzeng 1994, 1995, 1996, Tzeng & Tsai 1994, Tzeng et al 1997, 1999, 2000, 2002a, 2003, Tsukamoto & Arai 2001, Jessop et al 2002. Accordingly, the analysis of Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths, in combination with age data, makes possible the reconstruction of the migratory environmental history of the mullet and the clarification of its freshwater habitat use.…”

We used an electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) to determine the migratory environmental history of the catadromous grey mullet Mugil cephalus from the Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths of 10 newly recruited juveniles collected from estuaries and 30 adults collected from estuaries, nearshore (coastal waters and bay) and offshore, in the adjacent waters off Taiwan. Mean (± SD) Sr:Ca ratios at the edges of adult otoliths increased significantly from 6.5 ± 0.9 × 10 -3 in estuaries and nearshore waters to 8.9 ± 1.4 × 10 -3 in offshore waters (p < 0.01), corresponding to increasing ambient salinity from estuaries and nearshore to offshore waters. The mean Sr:Ca ratios decreased significantly from the core (11.2 ± 1.2 × 10 -3 ) to the otolith edge (6.2 ± 1.4 × 10 -3 ) in juvenile otoliths (p < 0.001). The mullet generally spawned offshore and recruited to the estuary at the juvenile stage; therefore, these data support the use of Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths to reconstruct the past salinity history of the mullet. A life-history scan of the otolith Sr:Ca ratios indicated that the migratory environmental history of the mullet beyond the juvenile stage consists of 2 types. In Type 1 mullet, Sr:Ca ratios range between 4.0 × 10 -3 and 13.9 × 10 -3, indicating that they migrated between estuary and offshore waters but rarely entered the freshwater habitat. In Type 2 mullet, the Sr:Ca ratios decreased to a minimum value of 0.4 × 10 -3 , indicating that the mullet migrated to a freshwater habitat. Most mullet beyond the juvenile stage migrated from estuary to offshore waters, but a few mullet less than 2 yr old may have migrated into a freshwater habitat. Most mullet collected nearshore and offshore were of Type 1, while those collected from the estuaries were a mixture of Types 1 and 2. The mullet spawning stock consisted mainly of Type 1 fish. The growth rates of the mullet were similar for Types 1 and 2. The migratory patterns of the mullet were more divergent than indicated by previous reports of their catadromous behavior.
