Otolith shape analysis and daily increment validation during ontogeny of larval and juvenile European chub Squalius cephalus

Abstract: This assesses features of otoliths from laboratory‐reared embryos, larvae and juvenile European chub Squalius cephalus from hatching to 180 days post‐hatching (dph). We observed the development of the three pairs of otoliths (lapilli, sagittae and asterisci) and more precisely shape changes, as well as timing and deposition rate of increments of the lapilli. The lapilli and the sagittae were present at hatching, whereas the asterisci formed between 20 and 30 dph. The lapillus and sagitta shapes were round unti… Show more

“…According to previous validation of daily growth increments in S. cephalus otoliths (Bounket et al, 2019) photographs of the sectioned otolith were taken along the anterior axis (rostrum tip) and were merged into a large image using Photostitch software (Canon; www.canon‐utilities‐photostitch.en.lo4d.com). A unique reading transect following the maximum growth axis was drawn on each stitched image.…”

“…The size classes (TL) of the collected individuals were ranged between 20 and 80 mm. The lapilli, the most appropriate otoliths in cyprinid species to assess fish growth (Bounket et al, 2019), were extracted, immediately cleaned in distilled water and placed to dry in plastic tubes.…”

“…Each otolith was observed and digitized at ×1,000 magnification using a light microscope (Leica DM 2500, Solms, Germany) combined with a camera (Leica MC 170HD). Age was estimated by counting the daily increments (Bounket et al, 2019) between the hatching check and the edge of the otolith along the maximum growth axis from the core to the anterior face. The hatching check was similar to those previously observed in other cyprinids (Smith and Walker, 2003;Li et al, 2009).…”
