Preliminary examination of otolith microchemistry to determine stock structure in Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni) between SSRU 88.1C and 88.2H
Abstract: Life history characteristics of Antarctic toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni), were ... concentrations in the otolith edge and then to (ii) assess the potential of natal signatures to distinguish ... shown. This resulted in the correct classification of 63% of fish overall to their original capture ... sites. Discrimination of otolith natal signatures using Al:Ca and Zn:Ca showed greater classification ...
