Abstract:This study aims to determine if otolith chemistry can differentiate between coastal lagoons and shallow coves and if it can effectively re-assign Sparus aurata specimens to the nearest nurseries. Young-of-the-year (Y-O-Y) and young adults were collected at fifteen sites within three nurseries along the eastern Adriatic. LA-ICP-MS was used to quantify the concentrations of 12 chemical elements in the otolith region corresponding to the juvenile nursery stage. The multivariate element concentration differed sign… Show more
