Journal ArticleDOI
Can otolith elemental chemistry retrospectively track migrations in fully marine fishes
TL;DR: The main obstacle currently limiting the application of otolith elemental microchemistry to infer movements of marine fishes appears to lie in the largely homogeneous distribution of those elements most reliably measured in the otolith.
Journal ArticleDOI
How quantitative is metabarcoding: a meta-analytical approach
Philip D. Lamb,Ewan Hunter,Ewan Hunter,John K. Pinnegar,John K. Pinnegar,Simon Creer,Richard G. Davies,Martin I. Taylor +7 more
TL;DR: The analysis suggests that a weak quantitative relationship may exist between the biomass and sequences produced, albeit with a large degree of uncertainty, and advocates the inclusion of mock communities when metabarcoding as this facilitates direct assessment of the quantitative ability of any given study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying physiological influences on otolith microchemistry
Anna M. Sturrock,Anna M. Sturrock,Ewan Hunter,J. Andrew Milton,Rachel C. Johnson,Colin P. Waring,Clive N. Trueman +6 more
TL;DR: The influence of physiology on the trace metal composition of otoliths may explain the success of microchemical stock discrimination in relatively homogenous marine environments, but could complicate alternative uses for trace element compositions in biominerals of higher organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Migration route and spawning area fidelity by North Sea plaice
TL;DR: This is the first study to provide a complete reconstruction of annual migrations by individual fishes, showing strong homing behaviour along consistent migration routes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physiological influences can outweigh environmental signals in otolith microchemistry research
TL;DR: Overall, blood plasma was found to be highly regulated, with few elements exhibiting strong, if any, correlation with ambient concentrations, and seasonal changes in physiology governed intra-annual variations in blood chemistry and, by implication, also regulate ion availability to the otolith.
