Wang, Y., Ye, Z., Liu, Q. et al. Otolith chemical signatures of spottedtail goby Synechogobius ommaturus in coastal waters of China., Chin. J. Ocean. Limnol. 29, 640–646 (2011). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00343-011-0125-4
This study explores the potential existence of local stocks of Synechogobius ommaturus using otolith chemical signatures. The concentrations of 10 elements (K
Ca
Na
Mg
Sr
Pb
Ba
Mn
Co
Zn) in the otoliths from eight stocks (Dandong
Dalian
Tianjin
Dongying
Weihai
Qingdao
Ganyu and Xiamen) of S. ommaturus were measured by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and regressed against otolith weight. No significant correlation between otolith weight and concentrations of Na
Mg
Ca
Sr
Co
Ba
Zn and Pb were observed. Concentrations of K and Mn were correlated with otolith weight. Consequently
the residuals of the regressions were used instead of the original concentrations in subsequent analyses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed no significant difference between males and females in otolith chemical signatures. Differences were found among the locations for K
Sr
Mn
Co
Ba
Pb
but not for Ca
Na
Mg and Zn. Residuals of the regressions of elemental concentrations against otolith weight that fitted the normal distribution and homogeneity were studied by discriminant analysis. The success of the discriminant function to predict the location of S. ommaturus capture ranged from 100% for Weihai and Xiamen stocks
to only 44.4% and 62.5% for Qingdao and Dandong stocks
respectively. The average prediction success was 80.3%.
