Is otolith strontium a useful scalar of life cycles in estuarine fishes? Fisheries Research 46:359–371
The efficiency with which estuarine habitats produce fish is poorly understood due to the complexity of life cycles. Spatial dynamics of estuarine fishes comprise retentive and dispersive behaviors which occur on seasonal and ontogenetic scales. Salinity is an important scalar in the spatial dynamic...

The efficiency with which estuarine habitats produce fish is poorly understood due to the complexity of life cycles. Spatial dynamics of estuarine fishes comprise retentive and dispersive behaviors which occur on seasonal and ontogenetic scales. Salinity is an important scalar in the spatial dynamics of estuarine fishes, that may affect production and dispersal. In this paper, we review investigations that used otolith strontium (Sr) to chart estuarine movements of fishes. Based upon microprobe analysis of otolith Sr, variable patterns of estuarine ingress have been shown for bay anchovy Anchoa mitchilli, freshwater eel Anguilla spp., Japanese sea bass Lateolabrax japonicus, and Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus. In anadromous fishes, striped bass Morone saxatilis American shad Alosa sapidissima, and Arctic charr Salvelinus alpinus, otolith Sr has been used to record emigration of juveniles and adults from freshwater and oligohaline nurseries. These same species showed seasonal cycles in otolith Sr consistent with expectations on frequency of spawning migration. A critical yet seldom evaluated issue is the relative roles of salinity, temperature, ontogenetic stage, and physiological state on otolith Sr. In a review of the literature (1982–1997), we found that these effects were infrequently evaluated (10 of 27 species investigated).
