“…, years overlapping with Campana & Thorrold (2001). A power curve closely fits the data ( y = 0.91 x 1.40 ; r 2 = 0.97), although the sharp rise in 2010 can be attributed, in part, by two special issues of Environmental Biology of Fishes dedicated to Proceedings of the 4th International Otolith Symposium (Miller et al , 2010).…”

Otolith microchemistry can provide valuable information about stock structure and mixing patterns when the magnitude of environmental differences among areas is greater than the cumulative influence of any vital effects. Here, the current understanding of the underlying mechanisms governing element incorporation into the otolith is reviewed. Hard and soft acid and base (HSAB) theory is employed to explore the differences in chemical behaviours, distributions and affinities between elements. Hard acid cations (e.g. Mg(2+) , Li(+) and Ba(2+) ) tend to be less physiologically influenced and accepted more readily into the otolith crystal lattice but are relatively homogeneous in seawater. Soft acid cations (e.g. Zn(2+) and Cu(2+) ) on the other hand, exhibit more varied distributions in seawater, but are more likely to be bound to blood proteins and less available for uptake into the otolith. The factors influencing the geographical distribution of elements in the sea, and their incorporation into the otoliths of marine fishes are reviewed. Particular emphasis is placed on examining physiological processes, including gonad development, on the uptake of elements commonly used in population studies, notably Sr. Finally, case studies are presented that either directly or indirectly compare population structuring or movements inferred by otolith elemental fingerprints with the patterns indicated by additional, alternative proxies. The main obstacle currently limiting the application of otolith elemental microchemistry to infer movements of marine fishes appears to lie in the largely homogeneous distribution of those elements most reliably measured in the otolith. Evolving technologies will improve the discriminatory power of otolith chemistry by allowing measurement of spatially explicit, low level elements; however, for the time being, the combination of otolith minor and trace element fingerprints with alternative proxies and stable isotopic ratios can greatly extend the scope of migration studies. Among the otolith elements that routinely occur above instrument detection limits, Ba, Mn and Li were deemed the most likely to prove reliable geographic markers in marine species.

“…Thus, they have been widely used as an effective tool to identify fish species and populations and to discriminate their stocks in different habitats (Jawad et al 2018). In addition, the role of the otolith approach has also been expanded to include ecological research and conservation applications (Miller et al 2010), ontogenetic processes (Capoccioni et al 2011), spatial and temporal migrations (Smith and Kwak 2014), and fish age (Škeljo et al 2015), which has powerful implications for fisheries science and management (Vasconcelos et al 2018). Besides, the anatomy of the otolith has been shown to play an important role in discriminating the stock based on the life traits of individuals with the evolution of the habitat (Arai et al 2007).…”

“…The 4th International Otolith Symposium was published in Environmental Biology of Fishes (Miller et al 2010) and the first part of IOS2014 was published in the ICES Journal of Marine Science (Morales-Nin and Geffen 2015). We are happy to have the opportunity to release another special otolith issue here now, and to share the diversity of research and applications of otoliths and other calcified tissues.…”
