Abstract:Geochemical chronologies were constructed from otoliths of adult Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT) to investigate the timing of age-specific egress of juveniles from coastal nurseries (natal sites) in the East China Sea or Sea of Japan to offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean. Element:Ca chronologies were developed for otolith Li:Ca, Mg:Ca, Mn:Ca, Zn:Ca, Sr:Ca, and Ba:Ca, and our assessment focused on the section of the otolith corresponding to the juvenile period (age-0 to age-1+). Next, we applied a common time-seri… Show more
