“…1993, Halden et al 1995. However, other studies reported no consistent correlation between the Sr:Ca value and the annuli visible in the otolith , Gauldie et al 1995. Oxygen isotope cycles are evident in both freshwater and saltwater otoliths, due to annual patterns in temperature and/or distribution (Iacumin et al 1992, Patterson et al 1993.…”

ABSTRACT:The fish otolith (earstone) has long been known as a timekeeper, but interest in its use as a metabolically inert environmental recorder has accelerated in recent years. In part due to technological advances, applications such as stock identification, determination of rnigralon pathways, reconstruction of temperature and salinity history, age validation, detection of anadromy, use as a natural tag and chemical mass marking have been developed, some of which are difficult or impossible to implement using alternative techniques. Microsamphg and the latest advances in beam-based probes allow many elemental assays to be coupled with daily or annual growth increments, thus providing a detailed chronologcal record of the environment. However, few workers have critically assessed the assumptions upon which the environmental reconstructions are based, or considered the possibility that elemental incorporation into the otolith may proceed differently than that into other calcified structures. This paper reviews current applications and their assumptions and suggests future directions. Particular attention is given to the premises that the elemental and isotopic composition of the otolith reflects that of the environment, and the effect of physiological filters on the resulting composition. The roles of temperature, elemental uptake into the fish and the process of otolith crystahzation are also assessed. Drawing upon recent advances i n geochemistry and paleoclirnate research as points of contrast, it appears that not all applications of otolith chemistry are firmly based, although others are destined to become powerful and perhaps routine tools for the mainstream fish biologst.

“…Therefore the differences in seasonal growth rates of the fish can influence otolith growth rate and annuli deposition (Gauldie et al, 1995). In Z. ophiocephalus, the two otolith linear parameters (MD and PE) showed a close relationship with fish length (TL).…”

“…Several factors are likely to affect the incorporation of chemical constituents in fish otoliths, i.e., temperature, ontogeny, salinity, stress, and growth rate (Radtke & Shafer, 1992). However, relationship between temperature and Sr quantities is still the subject of controversies (Radtke, 1989;Fowler et al, 1995;Gauldie et al, 1995;Hoff & Fuiman, 1995;Secor et al, 1995;Secor & Rooker, 2000). Since in the Venetian Lagoon water temperature in July-August reaches its highest values (Fig.…”

Monthly changes in marginal increments, determined from alternation of macroscopic opaque and translucent bands, of Zosterisessor ophiocephalus sagittae were examined. The time of annulus completion proved to be annual, occurring around June both for females and males, and coinciding with the end of the breeding season and a period of larger body condition. The translucent band is likely to start depositing in summer. Since Sr/Ca peaks coincided with annulus completion, the most likely hypothesis is that the Sr/Ca ratio is influenced by the reproductive season.KEY WORDS: Zosterisessor ophiocephalus -Otolith -Marginal increments analysis -Sr/Ca ratio -Venetian Lagoon.

“…Historically, Lowenstam (1961) Kinsman (1969) and Kinsman & Holland (1969) reported an inverse relationship between Sr contents and ambient temperature. These results encouraged some authors to use both stable isotopes and trace elements from the same otolith (e.g., Gauldie et al 1995) in their studies. In this paper, we report the results from stable isotopic and trace elemental analyses in otoliths of Pacific cod.…”

SynopsisWe examined the stock composition and life history of Pacific cod, Gadus macrocephalus, in the northeast Pacific Ocean from sagittal otoliths collected from three marine fishing areas in Washington State, U.S.A. We analyzed both stable isotope ratios (d 18 O and d 13 C) and trace elemental concentrations (Sr, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn) for these otoliths. The combination of d 18 O and d 13 C, and correlation of d 18 O vs. 1000Sr/Ca and 1000Mg/Ca showed clear separations between North Puget Sound and coastal cod, suggesting there might be two different spawning stocks in the region. The North Puget Sound cod might represent an 'Estuarytype' from the Strait of Georgia, whereas coastal cod might represent an 'Ocean-type' from the Pacific west coast. Isotopic variations from five representative otoliths also showed a two-stage life history for Pacific cod, and a critical transition period for cod in migration to the ocean or in age of sexual maturity. These chemical interpretations and conclusions appear in agreement with biological observations of Pacific cod, and are consistent with results of previous studies for other marine fish species in nearby areas.
