“…Stable oxygen isotope ratios recorded in statoliths provide information regarding diverse movement patterns of S. lessoniana; differences in ontogenetic distributions were observed among the three seasonal groups. Although the approach for investigating the movement of animals by using δ 18 O values in biogenic carbonates has been widely applied in studies on fish (Trueman et al, 2012;Currey et al, 2014;Shiao et al, 2017;Darnaude and Hunter, 2018), thus far, studies have not adapted this method to determine the movement history of cephalopods. We demonstrated the potential of using this approach in studies on cephalopod ecology.…”

“…In recent years, stable oxygen isotopic ratios (expressed as δ 18 O) in biogenic carbonates have been used to examine the spatial distribution and movement patterns of teleosts (e.g., Steer et al, 2010;Currey et al, 2014;Shiao et al, 2017). The δ 18 O value in fish otoliths is in equilibrium with that in the ambient water, and δ 18 O value uniformly increases with a decrease in seawater temperature in various species of fish (Elsdon and Gillanders, 2002;Høie et al, 2004a).…”

Sepioteuthis lessoniana is a widely distributed neritic squid in the Indo-Pacific Ocean. It is an important species in fisheries, but species management is difficult because of inadequate information regarding its life history. The daily growth and δ 18 O values from the core to the edge of statoliths of S. lessoniana collected in northern Taiwan were analyzed to predict the experienced temperature history along with ontogenetic stages. The probability of occurrence in a given area at each life stage in three seasonal groups was determined using salinity values, deduced and measured temperatures, and the known ecology of S. lessoniana. The results showed that ontogenetic variation in the statolith δ 18 O values in S. lessoniana reflected the seasonal temperature fluctuation observed in Taiwanese waters, which indicated the reliability of the prediction method. Complex and diverse distribution and movement patterns were observed in the three seasonal groups. The results also indicated the importance of the waters near the coast of northeastern Taiwan as a spawning ground. Based on a model prediction, the distribution of S. lessoniana is likely associated with water temperature and current. A potential migration route from the Penghu Islands to northeastern Taiwan suggests a high level of population connectivity in S. lessoniana in Taiwan. This study provides information on the spatial and vertical distribution of S. lessoniana at various ontogenetic stages, which is essential for resource management and conservation of this commercial species.

“…This accretion by the otolith makes it useful for determining fish age. In addition, the chemical composition, such as stable isotope ratios, of otoliths also provides valuable information on fish ecology . The carbonate‐bound nitrogen isotopic compositions of organic materials in fish otoliths may record information on the food sources, diet changes and trophic levels of fishes .…”

[11][12][13][14] However, a fundamental understanding of otolith nitrogen stable isotopes remains limited and the isotopic assimilation of δ 15 N compositions from diets to otoliths has rarely been investigated.…”

These results suggest that otolith nitrogen and carbon isotopes from food were directly assimilated on the same day. Food is the major and in some cases only source of otolith nitrogen isotopes but makes only a partial contribution to otolith carbon isotopes. Therefore, the δ N values recorded in the sclerochronological layers of the otoliths can be used to determine the trophic levels, food sources and diet changes of fish.

“…Large vertical migrations from larval habitat to adult habitat have been documented in other species, for example in macrourids up to 1400 m ( Lin et al. 2012 ) and up to 800 m in the jellynose fish Ateleopus japonicus ( Shiao et al. 2017 ).…”

Synopsis Deep-sea trenches, depths 6000–11,000 m, are characterized by high pressures, low temperatures, and absence of sunlight. These features make up the majority of the deepest marine habitat—the hadal zone—home to distinct communities from those in the surrounding abyssal plains. The snailfishes, family Liparidae (Scorpaeniformes), have found notable success in the hadal zone from ∼6000 to 8200 m, comprising the dominant ichthyofauna in at least six trenches worldwide. The hadal fish community is distinct from the abyssal community where elongate, scavenging fishes such as rattails (Macrouridae), cutthroat eels (Synaphobranchidae), tripodfishes (Ipnopidae), eelpouts (Zoarcidae), and cusk eels (Ophidiidae) are most common. Until recently, little was known about the biology of these deepest-living fishes, or the factors that drive their success at hadal depths. Here, I review recent investigations spanning the abyssal–hadal boundary and discuss the factors structuring these communities, including the roles of pressure adaptation, feeding ecology, and life history. Hadal fishes show specialized adaptation to hydrostatic pressure both in accumulation of the pressure-counteractant trimethylamine n-oxide and in intrinsic changes to enzymes. Stomach content and amino acid isotope analyses, and jaw morphology suggest that suction-feeding predatory fishes like hadal liparids may find an advantage to descending into the trench where amphipods are increasingly abundant. Analysis of otolith growth zones suggest that snailfishes may be adapted to a seismically active, high-disturbance hadal environment by having relatively short life-spans. This review synthesizes the known literature on the planet’s deepest-living fishes and informs new understanding of adaptations to life in the trenches.
