“…In comparison, Mg/Ca ratios did not show this tendency for a linear relationship between water and otolith (Strohm et al, 2017), most probably because Mg uptake is influenced by other factors (Campana, 1999). In the study of Avigliano et al (2021) this relationship could not be identified for Ba/Ca ratios neither.…”

“…to identify natal origins of anadromous salmon species (Kennedy et al, 2000;Barnett-Johnson et al, 2008;Brennan et al, 2015b). Avigliano et al (2021) tracked migrations of a single freshwater species (Prochilodus lineatus) in riverine habitats also on a very large scale in the La Plata basin. Only rarely otolith chemistry was assessed as a potential tool for fishery management for several species on a relatively small scale including different habitat types (Zeigler and Whitledge, 2010;Radigan et al, 2018c).…”

“…To optimize the classification of otoliths, 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope ratios have often been combined with mass fractions of different elements (Carlson et al, 2017). Especially Sr, Zn, Pb, Mn, Ba and Fe in otoliths have been documented to be consistent with an environmental effect, with Sr/Ca ratio being the most promising parameter in addition to 87 Sr/ 86 Sr isotope ratios for the determination of the geographic origin of fish (Campana, 1999;Avigliano et al, 2021). The Sr/Ca ratio in water has been identified as primary factor influencing otolith Sr/Ca ratio for freshwater and diadromous fish (Brown and Severin, 2009) by the relative uptake of Sr from the water by fish based on its environmental availability and its incorporation in otoliths (Campana, 1999).…”

The focus of this study was to assess the potential of otolith microchemistry as a fishery management tool for different European freshwater fish species in an Alpine foreland with a diverse range of different water bodies but low geological variation. 87Sr/86Sr isotope and Sr/Ca ratios in water samples from 26 habitat sites in a pre-alpine catchment region around lake Chiemsee, Germany, an important region for recreational and economic fisheries, were analysed. 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios and the Sr mass fractions in otoliths of 246 fish out of 16 species were determined using (laser ablation) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ((LA)-ICP-MS). Habitats could be discriminated into three distinct strontium isotope regions (SIGs) and seven clusters with characteristic 87Sr/86Sr isotope and Sr/Ca ratios. The direct comparison of 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios in water and otolith samples allowed to identify fish that might have been a) migrating b) transferred from other water bodies or c) stocked from fish farms. Sr/Ca ratios in water and the Sr mass fraction in otoliths were highly correlated, although significant differences between species from the same environment could be documented. Sr mass fractions in sagittae of Perca fluviatilis were about 60 % of those in sagittae of Coregonus spp and of lapilli of roach Rutilus rutilus from the same habitats. Different partition factors for water to otolith Sr/Ca mass fractions were determined for different species. Discrimination of fish otoliths by 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios and Sr mass fractions according to habitat clusters was possible with success rates ranging from 92 % to 100 % for cyprinids, European perch Perca fluviatilis, whitefish Coregonus spp. and European grayling Thymallus thymallus, and was 74 % for salmonids. Otolith microchemistry proved to have great potential to serve as a fishery management tool at smaller spatial scales such as in the studied Alpine foreland when considering the limited variation of 87Sr/86Sr isotope and Sr/Ca ratios, the type and spatial distribution of habitats, and the species and question under investigation.

“…Similarly, Avigliano et al targeted the Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios to provide complementary information on fish migration in the La Plata Basin (South America). 92 Isotope and elemental fractionations in teeth were investigated to interrogate and decipher early hominin traits, describe their habitats and diet, and investigate the uptake of anthropogenic pollution. 83,93 Isotope ratios have also been used as a pathological marker as shown by Resano et al, 94 who targeted the isotope ratios of Cu in dried urine droplets to diagnose Wilson's disease patients.…”

Elemental imaging gives insight into the fundamental chemical makeup of living organisms. Every cell on Earth is comprised of a complex and dynamic mixture of the chemical elements that define structure and function. Many disease states feature a disturbance in elemental homeostasis, and understanding how, and most importantly where, has driven the development of laser ablation−inductively coupled plasma−mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) as the principal elemental imaging technique for biologists. This review provides an outline of ICP-MS technology, laser ablation cell designs, imaging workflows, and methods of quantification. Detailed examples of imaging applications including analyses of cancers, elemental uptake and accumulation, plant bioimaging, nanomaterials in the environment, and exposure science and neuroscience are presented and discussed. Recent incorporation of immunohistochemical workflows for imaging biomolecules, complementary and multimodal imaging techniques, and image processing methods is also reviewed.CONTENTS

The Manguruyú Zungaro jahu, endemic to the La Plata Basin, is one of the largest neotropical fish species whose life history is virtually unknown. The objectives of this study were to determine if Z. jahu is a large-scale migratory species and to describe habitat use throughout ontogeny using the otolith Sr isotope ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr) ratio. Surface water samples were collected in 2020 at four sites representing the main water courses of the Great Pantanal in Brazil (upper Paraguay, Cuiabá, São Lourenço and Vermelho rivers). Eighteen fish individuals were collected from the Paraná River (Argentina). New water 87 Sr/ 86 Sr data were incorporated into previously established statistical models to infer the fish habitat use through the otolith 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios. The water 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratio of the upper Paraguay tributaries varied (0.7209 and 0.7229) and were the highest in the La Plata Basin. The dispersal area of Z. jahu was restricted to the surroundings of the confluence of the Paraná and Paraguay rivers. Fish showed chemical signatures compatible with those of the middle Paraná (88%), Paraguay-Pilcomayo-Bermejo (50%) and the lower/upper Paraná (66%). The discriminant analysis based on otolith core indicated natal origins from the middle Paraná (37%), upper Paraná (32%), and Paraguay sub-basin (32%). The dispersal area of Z. jahu migrations could be restricted to the surroundings of the confluence of Paraná and Paraguay, which highlights the need to review regional fishing regulations, especially between latitudes 30 -34 S.
