Effects of temperature on somatic growth, otolith growth, and uncoupling in the otolith to fish size relationship of larval northern pike, Esox lucius L

Stock Discrimination of Northern Pike Esox lucius L., 1758 Inhabiting Lakes Simenlik and Ladik (Samsun-Turkey) Using Otolith Biometry and Shape Analysis

“…Otoliths are considered as an invaluable source of information for reconstructing a fish's life cycle (Campana and Thorrold 2001). In addition, otolith morphology and shape analysis are often used for stock discrimination (Begg and Brown 2000;Galley et al 2006;Leguá et al 2013;Bostancı and Yedier 2018;Ozpicak 2020;Bano and Serujiddin 2021;Yedier 2021). However, the relationships between length and otolith dimensions generate a baseline for fish biology and fisheries research (Ozpicak 2020).…”

“…This is the first study about the otolith shape of E. lucius from different lakes. Otolith properties are useful tools to identify intra and interspecific relationships (Leguá et al 2013;Mapp et al 2017;Saygin et al 2020;Ozpicak 2020;Bano and Serujiddin 2021) and stock discrimination (Begg and Brown 2000;Galley et al 2006;Agüera and Brophy 2011;Vieira et al 2014;Jemaa et al 2015;Bacha et al 2016;Afanasyev et al 2017;Duncan et al 2018;Zengin Özpiçak et al 2018). In the literature, no other study on this subject related to E. lucius could be found.…”

“…Fish size-otolith biometry relationships have several benefits in estimating the size of the prey. Fish size and/or weight can be functionally related to an appropriate otolith measurement (length, width, or weight) and the resulting relationships can subsequently be used for size estimation (Battaglia et al 2010;Yilmaz et al 2015;Mehanna et al 2016;Bostanci et al 2017;Saygin et al 2017;Yazicioğlu et al 2017;Ozpicak 2020;Fey and Greszkiewicz 2021;Osman et al 2021).…”

Biochemical and Behavioural Alterations Induced by Arsenic and Temperature in <em>Hediste Diversicolor</em> of Different Growth Stages

“…By the end of the century, it is estimated that global mean surface temperature will increase between 0.95 and 2.0 °C depending on how successful is reduction of CO2 emission [35]. Previous studies demonstrated that temperature rise impacts marine organisms, by increasing diseases and mortality in shrimps [36], redistribution of species, specially fish, to higher latitudes, contributing to homonegenization of marine fauna in lower latitudes [37][38][39], decreasing burrowing activity and delay on the regenerative capacity of polychaetes [40][41], larval increase, otolith and somatic growth on northern pike [42], increasing of cannibalism behaviour at early age due to length difference between on Esox lucius L. [43]. In addition, it is also expected that temperature increase modulates the susceptibility of organisms to pollutants through alterations in the rate of biochemical and physiological processes, but may also change pollutants bioavailability and toxicity [44][45].…”
