Periodic changes in the chemistry of the otolith of Macruronus novaezelandiae

Periodic changes in the chemistry of the otolith of Macruronus novaezelandiae Summary The sagittal otolith of Macruronus novaezelandiae (Merlucciidae; Teleostei) showed cycles of strontium, calcium, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen in proton microprobe traces along both the sulcal to anti‐sulcal growth axis, and the dorso‐ventral rowth axis of the otolith. The cycles of strontium in the dorso‐ventral growth axis had peak‐to‐peai distances similar to those of annual peaks expected from daily microincrement estimates of age. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Applied Ichthyology Wiley

Abstract

Summary The sagittal otolith of Macruronus novaezelandiae (Merlucciidae; Teleostei) showed cycles of strontium, calcium, nitrogen, carbon and oxygen in proton microprobe traces along both the sulcal to anti‐sulcal growth axis, and the dorso‐ventral rowth axis of the otolith. The cycles of strontium in the dorso‐ventral growth axis had peak‐to‐peai distances similar to those of annual peaks expected from daily microincrement estimates of age.
