The relationship between organic material and check rings in fish otoliths

Age, growth and reproductive life‐history characteristics infer a high population productivity for the sustainably fished protogynous hermaphroditic yellowspotted rockcod (Epinephelus areolatus) in north‐western Australia

“…t 0 ). All sections were rinsed in an acidic solution (i.e., 2% HCl) for c. 20 s (see Gauldie et al, 1990), then in water, and mounted on a glass slide with a cover slip using casting resin (see also Newman et al, 2015).…”

Oceanic, Latitudinal, and Sex-Specific Variation in Demography of a Tropical Deepwater Snapper across the Indo-Pacific Region

“…Otolith sections were cut thinly (0.15-0.20 mm) to improve increment clarity. Sections were rinsed in an acidic solution for ∼30 s (2% hydrochloric acid, see Gauldie et al, 1990) and mounted on glass slides with a cover slip using casting resin. Opaque increments on each otolith section were counted using a compound microscope under reflected light at ×50-100 magnifications.…”

Effects of confinement stress of variable duration on the growth and microincrement deposition in the otoliths of Oreochromis niloticus(Cichlidae)

“…Most studies on checks have dealt with their description (Gauldie et al ., 1990; Zhang, 1992; Gauldie, 1993) and on the existence of a resorption phenomenon (mobilization of calcium) in otoliths during periods of stress (Campana, 1983; Ichii & Mugiya, 1983; Mugiya & Uchimura, 1989). As far as is known, there is no information establishing a relation between the type, intensity and duration of stress and the size of the check.…”
