“…The effect of temperature on otolith composition has been studied more than any other variable, and elements incorporated into aragonitic structures (corals, otoliths) appear to vary as a function of temperature. Substantial temperature effects have been reported for several elements, most notably Sr (e.g., Kalish 1989, Townsend 1992, Hoff & Fuiman 1993. However, results to date on the relation between temperature and element:Ca ratios are inconsistent and indicate that temperature and element:Ca ratios are not generally related (Campana 1999).…”

Otolith chemistry of juvenile Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis was measured to assess differences in composition among 3 nursery areas in the North Pacific Ocean: East China Sea, Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean off Shikoku. Six elements (Li, Mg, Ca, Mn, Sr and Ba) were measured in whole otoliths using solution-based inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Univariate contrasts of T. orientalis otoliths collected in 1994 and 1995 indicated that concentrations of 5 elements (Li, Mg, Ca, Mn, Sr) differed among nurseries. Concentrations of Ca and Sr were significantly higher in the Pacific Ocean than in either marginal sea (East China Sea or Sea of Japan) nursery, while concentrations of Li, Mg and Mn were higher in fishes inhabiting marginal seas. Discriminant analysis showed clear separation of elemental fingerprints between Pacific Ocean and marginal sea nurseries, and to a lesser degree separation between the 2 marginal sea groups. Temporal stability of the elemental fingerprint was examined over a 3 yr period (1995 to 1997) in the East China Sea. Significant interannual trends were observed for 3 elements (Mg, Mn and Ba); however, elemental fingerprints of T. orientalis from the Pacific Ocean nursery were markedly different from all yearclasses in the East China Sea.

“…The development of larger otoliths by fish raised at high temperature compared to individuals of comparable length raised at low temperature has been reported for several species (e.g. Folkvord et al, 1997;Hoff and Fuiman, 1993). Back-calculated fish sizes can therefore be biased if common relationships are unjustifiably used on fish stocks originating from geographic areas exposed to different temperature regimes, and regional differences in the fish length-otolith size relations should be tested with ANCOVAs before any common relation is used (e.g.…”

Temperature dependent otolith growth of larval and early juvenile Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

The otolith (lapillus) size-fish size relationship was examined for offspring of two Atlantic cod stocks, reared at different temperatures. Larvae and early juveniles reared at high temperatures (fast growing), had larger otoliths at a given length than fish reared at low temperatures (slow growing). Within a given temperature group, however, faster growing cod tended to have proportionally smaller otoliths, although the difference was not always significant. Moreover, the otolith radius of Norwegian coastal cod was larger, at given fish lengths, compared to that of the northeast Arctic cod. An ontogenetic shift in the allometric otolith size-fish size relationship occurred at onset of metamorphosis (12 mm). Mean daily otolith growth of the lapillus radius increased with increasing temperature from 4 to 14 C and was size dependent and peaked at a larval length of about 25 mm. The radius of the lapillus at hatching was poorly correlated with larval length at day 56 for both stocks, suggesting that the potential for fast growth may not necessarily be reflected in traits present at hatching. The effects of temperature, stock and ontogeny are discussed with regard to the assumption of constant proportionality between otolith growth and fish growth.

“…Sampling was designed to meet the requirements of the Finnigan MAT 251 mass spectrometer, which has an optimal minimum sample size requirement ranging between 40 and 50 µg of carbonate mass. Assuming an average otolith density of 2.7 g cm -3 (Hoff & Fuiman 1993), the necessary volume for a single analysis ranged between 0.014 and 0.018 mm 3 . About 0.025 mm 3 was extracted from each sample to ensure enough carbonate mass.…”

Oxygen (δ 18 O) and carbon (δ 13 C) isotope ratios in sagittal otoliths were analysed in recruits and juveniles of European hake Merluccius merluccius L. caught in the northwest (Sóller, SO) and south (Cabrera, CA) of the Island of Mallorca (western Mediterranean) over 2 consecutive years (2003 and 2004). The analytical method used allowed data to be gathered on both environmental and trophic conditions experienced by fish during the pelagic early life stages (registered in the composition of the inner part of the otolith, core area) and the demersal aggregations of recruits (at the otolith edge). Results on the seasonal variation of oxygen isotope signatures at the edge of fish otoliths captured in SO and CA indicated different vertical migration behaviours of hake between the bottom and the thermocline. δ 13 C showed a clear ontogenetic pattern between the core area and the edge, confirming the differences in diet from the early stages to post-recruits. The seasonal analysis of δ 13 C data from the otolith edge indicated that fish from the early stages in June 2003 encountered poorer trophic resources, which resulted in poor fish condition and subsequent poorer recruitment. The estimated temperature from the core area of otoliths showed lower temperature regimes in the 2002 hatching season compared to the 2003 hatching season, which could be a possible explanation for the observed differences in success of subsequent recruitment.
