“…Such remobilization, or dissolution, has only been suggested in extremely stressful conditions in otoliths (Mugiya & Uchimura 1989) and in anaerobic conditions for bivalves (Rhoads & Lutz 1980). Product formation can be expressed as a weighted sum of the 3 organizing fluxes: assimilation, growth and dissipation (Kooijman 2010).…”

Environmental conditions experienced by aquatic organisms are archived in biogenic carbonates such as fish otoliths, bivalve shells and coral skeletons. These calcified structures present an accretionary growth and variations in optical properties (color or opacity) that are used to reconstruct time. However, full and reliable exploitation of the information extracted from these structures is often limited as the metabolic processes that control their growth and optical properties are poorly understood. Here, we propose a new modeling framework that couples both the growth of a biogenic carbonate and its optical properties with the metabolism of the organism. The model relies on well-tested properties of the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory. It is applied to otoliths of the Bay of Biscay anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus, for which a DEB model has been previously developed. The model reproduces well-known otolith patterns and thus provides us with mechanisms for the metabolic control of otolith size and opacity at the scale of an individual life span. Two original contributions using this framework are demonstrated.(1) The model can be used to reconstruct the temporal variations in the food assimilated by an individual fish. Reconstructing food conditions of past and present aquatic species in their natural environment provides key ecological information that can be used to better understand population dynamics.(2) We show that non-seasonal checks can be discriminated from seasonal checks, which is a wellrecognized problem when interpreting fish otoliths. We suggest further developments of the model and outline the experimental settings required to test this new promising framework.

“…2), which may imply that vaterite was more quickly regenerated to repair the otolith when aragonite was damaged. The factors affecting otolith damage are not clear; one possible reason may be otolith absorption induced by anaerobic stress (Mugiya & Uchimura 1989). Vaterite occurs where mineralized tissue has been repaired in certain gastropods (Kamhi 1963).…”

Most fish otoliths are composed of aragonite, but occasionally they form a mosaic with its polymorph, vaterite. We found an unusual mosaic structure of extremely low strontium to calcium (Sr/Ca) ratio in the aragonite otoliths of European eels Anguilla anguilla. The mosaic crystal structure in the eel otolith appeared opaque under reflected light after EDTA etching and was confirmed to be a vaterite crystal by Raman spectroscopy. Analysis by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry indicated that the elements sodium (Na), strontium (Sr) and barium (Ba) were lower in abundance and magnesium (Mg) and manganese (Mn) were higher in the vaterite than in the aragonite. Otoliths with vaterite inclusions were found in 48.1% of the 108 eels examined. If the mosaic vaterite in otoliths is not identified and avoided, the migratory environmental history of fish could be misidentified when otolith elemental signatures are used as biological tracers.

“…Laboratory studies to date have found that otolith increment width is more directly related to certain metabolic rates than it is to somatic growth, and unlike somatic growth, otolith growth is not negatively affected by increased activity, starvation or stress, unless extreme (Mugiya and Uchimura 1989). Additionally, otolith growth is partially controlled by calcium accretion which is sensitive to pH and temperature (Mosegaard et al 1988;Chen et al 2008;Checkley et al 2009).…”

Since fishery management regulations have shifted much of the groundfish trawl effort in the northeastern Pacific from the continental shelf to the slope, fishery impacts on unassessed demersal slope rockfish species like the aurora rockfish (Sebastes aurora) may have increased. Understanding the life history of these species is a critical first step in developing management strategies to protect them from overharvest. In this study we employ crossdating methods to validate the annual periodicity of growth increments and investigate the age, growth and maturity of aurora rockfish, a species for which life history information is quite limited. Specimens were collected on an opportunistic basis from Oregon commercial landings and from research cruises, over the years 2003-2006. Age was estimated for 438 individuals using otoliths processed via the breakand-burn method. The maximum estimated age was 118 years for females (n=324) and 81 years for males (n = 114). The von Bertalanffy growth function showed that males grow faster and reach a smaller maximum size than females (males: L inf =34, K=0.09, t 0 =−1.9; females: L inf =37, K=0.06, t 0 =−5.5), though both sexes demonstrate relatively slow growth. Visual assessment of ovaries showed that the aurora rockfish is a synchronous spawner with parturition occurring in May and June off Oregon. Female age and length at 50% maturity were calculated at 12.6 years and 26 cm, respectively (n=307). Maturity and age data provided evidence for a protracted adolescence in this species.
