“…The only other known study that tested the effects of environmental pH on squid-embryo statolith geochemistry found that only 65 Zn significantly differed from an elemental suite that included 110m Ag, 109 Cd, 57 Co, 203 Hg and 54 Mn [49]. Evidence that environmental tracers in squid statoliths can track seawater pH and [O 2 ] is especially useful, because uranium has been shown to be promising for understanding squid life history, migrations and habitat use [88,90,91].…”

“…Elevated Ba/Ca in otoliths and invertebrate hard parts has been associated with upwelling (Lea et al 1989;Patterson et al 1999;Zacherl 2005;Brown 2006) and deep water (Zumholz et al 2007). Dissolved Ba in oceanic waters shows a nutrient-like distribution with very low concentrations in surface waters and higher values in deep water (Chan et al 1977).…”

We examined variability in otolith chemistry of wild caught fish in relation to in situ temperature and salinity within the California Current System. Barium, magnesium, and iron from the most recent growth zone in otoliths differentiated pelagic juvenile shortbelly rockfish (Sebastes jordani) residing in water masses with distinct temperature and salinity properties from central and southern California spanning nearly 500 km of coastline. The 3-element signature also discriminated fish that resided in different water masses that were associated with mesoscale cyclonic eddy circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel. Variability in otolith chemistry reflected the spatial patterns of both horizontal gradients and vertical gradients in water mass properties related to circulation. Although we found that the concentrations of particular elements in otoliths were correlated to ambient temperature or salinity, we suggest that these parameters are more useful as an identifying signature of distinct water masses associated with unique otolith signatures rather than as factors directly affecting otolith chemistry. Other factors varying among the water masses or among the fish populations residing in the water masses may also affect otolith chemistry. We discuss how oceanographic phenomena associated with the 1997-1998 El Niño and the persistent, recirculating eddy in the Channel may have affected coastal ocean conditions and variation in otolith chemistry of fish in the study area.

“…For example, oxygen isotopes in squid statoliths are deposited in equilibrium with ambient waters (Radtke 1983). Variation in strontium (Sr) concentrations within statoliths track squid in ontogenetic migrations (Yatsu et al 1998, Ikeda et al 2003, Zumholz et al 2007, vertical diel migrations (Ikeda et al 1998, Bettencourt & Guerra 2000, and daily feeding activities (Ikeda et al 2002a). Recent work has also indicated distinct seasonal, developmental, and spatial patterns of chemical signatures in statoliths of Doryteuthis (= Loligo) gahi in the south Atlantic (Arkhipkin et al 2004).…”

We found distinct geographic differences in trace element concentrations in both the core and early larval areas of the statoliths of paralarval market squid Doryteuthis (= Loligo) opalescens at sites throughout the Southern California Bight, USA. Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) of individual statoliths indicated detectable levels of Mg, Mn, Sr, and Ba, with marginal levels of Cr and Pb. While these paralarvae showed considerable within-sample differences in elemental concentrations, there was significant between-site discrimination of natal (core) and early larval signatures for collection sites up to 100 km apart. In 2002 and 2003, levels of Ba and Sr in the statolith cores were significantly different among sites, suggesting differences in the natal environment or local maternal effects. Site specific differences in elemental signatures were also apparent for Mg and Mn in samples taken from outside the core in the early posthatching period. These same portions of the statolith can be analyzed from adult squid collected on spawning grounds. We showed that concentrations of trace elements in the statolith cores of adults closely resembled the core signatures of squid paralarvae, which opens the possibility of identifying the source populations for stocks of this commercially important species.
