TLDR
Otolith microstructure examination has found an increasing number of applications in recent years, but few workers have critically assessed the assumptions upon which the age and growth of the structure is based.Abstract:

Accuracy, precision and quality control in age determination, including a review of the use and abuse of age validation methods
TL;DR: This review highlights the best available methods for insuring ageing accuracy and quantifying ageing precision, whether in support of large-scale production ageing or a small-scale research project.
Journal ArticleDOI
Otoliths, increments, and elements: keys to a comprehensive understanding of fish populations?
TL;DR: Otolith bio-chronologies have been linked with otolith chemistry as mentioned in this paper, allowing accurate estimates of age and growth at both the daily and the yearly scale, based on the successes of calcified structures as environmental proxies in other taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larval retention and recruitment in an island population of a coral-reef fish
TL;DR: It is shown that recruitment to an island population of a widely distributed coral-reef fish may often result from local retention on leeward reefs, which has implications for fisheries management and marine reserve design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-recruitment in a coral reef fish population
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that juveniles from a coral reef fish population can return to their natal reef and challenge the assumption that long-distance dispersal is the norm for reef fish populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Reliable are Growth Back-Calculations Based on Otoliths?
TL;DR: Back-calculation bias was eliminated through use of an algorithm defining individual fish-otolith trajectories and a biologically determined, rather than a statistically estimated, intercep...

Nitrogen and carbon isotopic composition of bone collagen from marine and terrestrial animals
TL;DR: Results indicate that bone collagen δ15N values will be useful in determining relative dependence on marine and terrestrial food sources and in investigating trophic level relationships among different animal species within an ecosystem.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish Otoliths: Daily Growth Layers and Periodical Patterns
TL;DR: The early-stage annual rings in otoliths from some cold-temperate fish consist of thin growth bands, the number of which corresponds to that of the days in a year, which indicates that growth takes place by daily increments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular structure and composition of fish otoliths
TL;DR: Oxygen and carbon isotope data indicate that the aragonite is formed close to isotopic equilibrium with the sea, which is surprising, because seawater has no direct access to the inner ear where the otolith orginates.

A crystallographic study of vertebrate otoliths
TL;DR: The distribution of statoliths and/or statoconia, their texture and their composition within the vertebrate series, show remarkable consistencies; within each class the same kind of static bodies is usually present.
