The determination of maternal run time in juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) based on Sr/Ca and 87Sr/86Sr within otolith cores     

J.A. Miller  A.J.R. Kent 《Fisheries Research》2009,95(2-3):373-378

Historically, Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) returned to natal streams throughout much of the year and extant populations continue to display extensive variation in run time. The genetic and environmental mechanisms that regulate run time are not well-understood, and there are few objective criteria to determine an individual’s run time. Here, in order to develop an independent marker of run time, the relationship between maternal run time and otolith core strontium (Sr/Ca and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) of progeny was examined. Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) juveniles from three rivers with fall- and spring-run hatchery populations were used to: (1) test the hypotheses that otolith Sr/Ca_core and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_core are greater in progeny of females from fall-runs, which return to natal rivers and spawn during fall, compared with spring-runs, which return to natal rivers in spring and spawn during fall; and (2) determine if otolith Sr/Ca_core and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_core can accurately predict maternal run time. Progeny of fall-run Chinook salmon consistently displayed greater Sr/Ca_core and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_core than those of spring-run Chinook salmon, with the exception of Sr/Ca_core in one of the three rivers. Differences in core chemistry resulted in accurate determination of maternal run time for 87–100% of the juveniles examined. The use of Sr/Ca_core, however, resulted in more accurate identification of spring-run progeny while the use of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_core resulted in more accurate identification of fall-run progeny. This methodology should be applicable to other anadromous species with variable run times although additional validation using wild runs is warranted. The ability to accurately determine individual run time will allow for independent examination of correlated life history traits that are related to individual and population growth rates.  相似文献   

Movement patterns of adult peacock bass Cichla temensis between tributaries of the middle Negro River basin (Amazonas – Brazil): an otolith geochemical analysis          下载免费PDF全文

R. G. C. Sousa  R. Humston  C. E. C. Freitas 《Fisheries Management and Ecology》2016,23(1):76-87

Geological heterogeneity in the Negro River basin creates differences in isotopic and elemental composition of rivers. Recent studies indicate that ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca can be used to determine the natal origins of peacock bass Cichla temensis (Humboldt) and reconstruct individual movement histories. This method was used to analyse otoliths from adult C. temensis collected from two locations on the mainstem Negro River and six tributaries around these core areas. Applying discriminant functions derived from young‐of‐year reference otolith data to determine natal origins of adults indicated that 42% of adults sampled were collected from the same area in which they were spawned. However, variation in ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr isotope values along the axis of otoliths indicated that C. temensis movements are much more dynamic than previously concluded. This new information on the spatial distribution of C. temensis can be used to support effective strategies for fishery management in the Negro River basin.  相似文献   

Transgenerational marking of brown trout Salmo trutta f.f., using an 84Sr spike     

A. Zitek  J. Irrgeher  M. Kletzl  T. Weismann  T. Prohaska 《Fisheries Management and Ecology》2013,20(4):354-361

The maternal transmission of a naturally occurring and non‐toxic minor isotope of strontium (⁸⁴Sr) to the central otolith region of the progeny of a typical European freshwater fish species, brown trout, Salmo trutta f.f. L. was accomplished. The focus was to apply minimum doses of a non‐toxic solution at physiological salt concentration to minimise potential adverse effects on the fish. Female spawners were intraperitoneally injected with doses of 12.5 and 30.2 μg ⁸⁴Sr kg^?1 fish. Eggs were stripped and the resulting progeny were reared in a hatchery for about 1 year before sampling the otoliths. Strontium isotope ratios in the otoliths of the offspring were measured by cross‐sectional line scans using laser ablation‐multiple collector‐inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐MC‐ICPMS). Otolith cores of marked juveniles showed a significantly elevated ⁸⁴Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio compared with control fish and to otolith regions created after hatching. Mass marking of cohorts of progeny from individually spiked brown trout with Sr isotopes is therefore possible for dispersal and migration studies without the necessity of handling eggs and applying other larval marking methods like immersion.  相似文献   

Discrimination of wild and hatchery trout by natural chronological patterns of elements and isotopes in otoliths using LA‐ICP‐MS     

A. ZITEK  M. STURM  H. WAIDBACHER  T. PROHASKA 《Fisheries Management and Ecology》2010,17(5):435-445

Abstract The potential to discriminate between wild and hatchery trout [Salmo trutta f. fario L. and Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum)] by chronological microchemical patterns of different otolith regions was tested. Central and rim regions of otoliths were analysed for life stage specific elemental patterns of strontium (Sr), sodium (Na) and calcium (Ca) as well as of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS). Classification to life stage specific habitats was achieved with 100% accuracy by ⁸⁸Sr/⁴³Ca, ²³Na/⁴³Ca and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios resulting in a discrimination of hatchery fish from wild fish. ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios and Sr concentration in otoliths were positively correlated with the ratio and amount in the water. Na content in otoliths did not directly reflect the concentration in the water, although the ²³Na/⁴³Ca ratio in otoliths contributed to the discrimination. Clear differences in otolith chemistry were found for fish experiencing different geological units or a groundwater‐fed environment in a hatchery. Natural chronological microchemical patterns in otoliths proved to be a valuable tool for discriminating wild and hatchery fish without the necessity to use marking methods. LA‐ICP‐MS is well suited for this application because of its limited need for sample preparation, its potentially high sample throughput and the possibility of simultaneous measurement of multiple elemental and isotopic fingerprints.  相似文献   

Otolith geochemistry in young‐of‐the‐year peacock bass Cichla temensis for investigating natal dispersal in the Rio Negro (Amazon – Brazil) river system          下载免费PDF全文

Raniere C. S. Garcez  Robert Humston  David Harbor  Carlos E. C. Freitas 《Ecology of Freshwater Fish》2015,24(2):242-251

This study examined otolith geochemistry as a natural marker of natal origins in young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) Cichla temensis in the Negro River Basin of Brazil. We analysed trace element and isotopic composition of otoliths of YOY collected off spawning nests from the main stem and major tributaries. These were compared with regional bedrock geologic composition to explore underlying mechanisms of differences in otolith geochemistry. Our results suggest that spatial differences in otolith geochemistry can be used to distinguish natal origins based on ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr, Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca ratios. This approach allowed us to correctly classify 99% of juvenile fish to their natal streams using cross‐validation in a linear discriminant function analysis (LDFA). Patterns of otolith isotopic composition correspond with patterns in regional geology as expected based on previously demonstrated correlations, although some fine‐scale spatial differences cannot be accounted for by available geologic information. These results demonstrate that otolith chemistry is valuable as a natural marker of natal origins in this system and suggest that inferences from geologic maps may be useful for interpreting movements based on otolith geochemical signatures. This information provides the basis for future work to investigate the early life history and spatial ecology of this important cichlid.  相似文献   

Low-fidelity homing behaviour of Biwa salmon <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oncorhynchus</Emphasis> sp. landlocked in Lake Biwa as inferred from otolith elemental and Sr isotopic compositions

Biwa salmon Oncorhynchus sp. is endemic to Lake Biwa, Japan, where it is an important commercial and recreational fisheries species. However, no information is currently available on its population structure and migration ecology. Therefore, here we evaluated whether otolith Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios can be used as natural signatures in Biwa salmon and then used these to determine the natal origins of lake-migration-phase individuals and spawning adults, and the homing ability of spawning adults in the Lake Biwa water system. Quadratic discriminant function analysis demonstrated that the lake-migration school comprised individuals with multiple origins, including rivers to the east, west and north of Lake Biwa, and that the homing rate of spawning adults was low (18 out of 80 individuals), with ca. 78% of fish straying into non-natal rivers. However, this straying behaviour was not spatially random, with fish tending to migrate upstream in rivers neighbouring their natal rivers. The high rate of straying in spawning adults is considered important for establishing and maintaining this species, which is highly adapted to life in the Lake Biwa water system where environmental disturbances often occur.  相似文献

Otolith microstructure of chum salmon <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oncorhynchus keta</Emphasis>: formation of sea entry check and daily deposition of otolith increments in seawater conditions   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

To apply otolith microstructure to examination of age and growth of juvenile chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta inhabiting coastal waters, formation of otolith increments was investigated for juveniles reared in a seawater aquarium and in net pens. In all otoliths examined, a distinctive check was formed at the time of sea entry of the fish. The deposition of otolith increments after the check was daily for rearing both in the aquarium (57 days) and in the net pens (26 days). Check formation associated with sea entry was also observed in otoliths of juvenile salmon collected 1 km off the coast of Shari, Hokkaido, Japan. Transmitted light observation of otoliths of those fish revealed a transition in otolith increment appearance from dark to light. Otolith Sr: Ca ratio remarkably changed from a low to a high level, coinciding with the transition in otolith appearance. It is suggested that the transition was associated with individual sea entry. This study demonstrated that the check and/or transition associated with sea entry are applicable to a benchmark for otolith increment counts of juvenile chum salmon inhabiting coastal waters.  相似文献   

Effect of salinity on strontium:calcium ratios in the otoliths of Sakhalin taimen, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hucho perryi</Emphasis>     

Takaomi Arai 《Fisheries Science》2010,76(3):451-455

In order to determine the salinity effect on otolith strontium (Sr):calcium (Ca) ratios, the Sr and Ca contents of otoliths of Sakhalin taimen, Hucho perryi, reared for 60 days in four salinities (freshwater, one-third seawater, two-thirds seawater, and full seawater) were examined. The Ca and Sr contents and the resultant Sr:Ca ratios in the rearing water increased linearly with salinity. Otolith Sr:Ca ratios were also found to be positively correlated with salinity. However, the Sr:Ca did not correspond to temperature fluctuations during the experiment. These results indicate that Sr:Ca ratios in otoliths can be used to reconstruct the migratory history of the fish by differentiating when the fish migrated between freshwater and seawater.  相似文献   

富锶水体处理对大黄鱼耳石和肌体中锶含量的影响

利用富锶水体处理的大黄鱼(Larimichthy scrocea)耳石元素标记是小规格鱼体规模化标记的一种技术手段,而标记完成后鱼体中的锶残留量是否符合食品食用安全是增殖放流评估中重要一环。通过开展富锶水体对大黄鱼鱼苗的浸泡标记实验,探究受试鱼苗耳石Sr/Ca值对富锶水体标记过程的响应方式,研究耳石元素指纹标记稳定性,分析标记过程对受试鱼苗肌体和主要脏器中锶含量的影响。结果表明:经为期7d、锶浓度含量3倍于天然海水的富锶水体的浸泡标记,受试鱼苗在特定耳石区段的Sr/Ca值显著增大,形成了与对照组个体在该耳石区段Sr/Ca值上的极显著差异(P<0.01);该差异不随时间的推移而减弱,可视做上述处理过程所产生的耳石元素指纹标识。浸泡标记处理后,受试鱼苗肌肉、鳃、肝脏和肾中的锶含量均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。但随着时间的推移,锶含量逐渐下降;在天然海水中暂养59d后受试鱼苗肌肉和上述脏器中的锶含量均可衰减至对照组的水平。  相似文献   

基于浸泡法的牙鲆耳石锶标记技术研究

为了探究耳石微化学标记技术在牙鲆增殖放流中的应用,以全长(1.56±0.16)cm的牙鲆幼鱼为研究对象,在其养殖水中分别添加0.5 mg/L、2 mg/L、8 mg/L、32 mg/L SrCl_2·6H_2O,以无添加SrCl_2·6H_2O组为对照组,人为改变牙鲆幼鱼生存环境中Sr~(2+)浓度72 h,研究不同浓度SrCl_2·6H_2O对牙鲆耳石锶标记效果。标记期间每24 h换水1次,换水量为50%,换水后补加SrCl_2·6H_2O至原始浓度,记录各浓度组标记期间及标记后的鱼苗死亡数量。利用X射线电子探针微区分析仪(EPMA)对耳石样本进行分析,定量线分析结果表明, 0.5 mg/L、2 mg/L SrCl_2·6H_2O浸染不能形成牙鲆耳石锶标记。8 mg/L浓度组出现Sr峰区, Sr/Ca (Sr:Ca×1000)均值为4.50～6.60, Sr峰值为5.49～8.49。32 mg/L浓度组Sr峰区均值为4.83～7.55, Sr峰值为5.62～11.04。这说明8 mg/L、32 mg/L SrCl_2·6H_2O可对牙鲆耳石进行锶标记。但8 mg/L浓度组出现未标记样本,且Sr峰区均值较32 mg/L浓度组低。32 mg/L浓度组Sr/Ca比值显著增高,即锶标记的Sr/Ca比值为6.61±0.86,与标记前和对照组Sr/Ca比值差异均显著(P0.05),锶标记率100%。面分布分析(mapping analysis)结果表明,从8 mg/L SrCl_2·6H_2O浓度组开始,耳石出现红色"高锶标记环",与耳石本底颜色对比明显,且随浓度升高,红色"高锶标记环"由浅变深,锶标记效果明显增强。单因素方差分析和Duncan多重比较结果显示,各浓度组全长、体重与对照组差异不显著(P0.05),不同浓度的SrCl_2·6H_2O对牙鲆幼鱼生长无影响。经χ2检验,各浓度组在浸泡标记期间死亡率及标记后养殖90 d的累积死亡率无显著性差异(P0.05),不同浓度的SrCl_2·6H_2O对牙鲆幼鱼死亡率无显著影响。因此, 32 mg/L SrCl_2·6H_2O为最佳标记浓度。  相似文献   

Using enriched stable isotopes of barium and magnesium to batch mark otoliths of larval golden perch (Macquaria ambigua,Richardson)

Woodcock SH, Gillanders BM, Munro AR, McGovern F, Crook DA, Sanger AC. Using enriched stable isotopes of barium and magnesium to batch mark otoliths of larval golden perch (Macquaria ambigua, Richardson). Ecology of Freshwater Fish 2011: 20: 157–165. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Abstract – Enriched stable isotope immersion techniques were used to mark the otoliths of larval golden perch (Macquaria ambigua) immediately post‐hatch. Two experiments were undertaken: the first involved rearing larvae in water enriched with three concentrations of ¹³⁷Ba for 1–5 days. Marks were produced in as little as 1 day; however, otolith isotope ratios reached equilibrium with the water in 5 days at 90 μg·l^?1. The second experiment involved rearing larvae in isotope enriched water with combinations of stable isotopes of Ba and Mg for 4 days after hatching. Seven significantly different isotopic signatures were produced using three Ba isotopes, which were reflective of the water. Only slight differences were found in otoliths of larvae that were reared in combinations of Mg isotopes, which did not reflect the water chemistry. The length of golden perch at 3 weeks of age showed that isotope immersion did not negatively affect early growth.  相似文献   

Spawning areas and migration patterns in the early life history of Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758): Use of otolith microchemistry for conservation and sustainable management     

Bernadette Bounket  Hélène Tabouret  Pierre Gibert  Gilles Bareille  Christophe Pecheyran  Georges Carrel  Christine Argillier  Fabien Morat 《水产资源保护:海洋与淡水生态系统》2021,31(10):2772-2787

1. In the context of the River Rhône restoration programme, the objective of this study was to assess the dispersal and population connectivity of the European chub, Squalius cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758) in a section of the natural, free-flowing part of the lower River Rhône.
2. The elemental water signatures for Sr:Ca and Ba:Ca were measured at seven stations within the river section, including its tributaries and backwaters, to determine whether they could be differentiated by microchemistry. From August to October the signatures differed among three sectors of the study reach: the Rhône; the Ardèche; and the backwaters.
3. The elemental signatures of the otoliths of 178 young-of-the-year (YOY) chub from the stations were measured to assess spawning areas and identify early migratory life histories. Analyses of otolith microchemistry identified the natal origin of 95% of the fish. Sr:Ca signatures of otoliths showed early downstream migration for 30.4% of the YOY chub; however, 70% of the fish recruited relatively close to their spawning origin suggesting a potential inshore retention of fish.
4. The results showed (i) a non-negligible contribution of the tributaries and backwaters in the recruitment of fish into the main channel; and (ii) the ability of chub to migrate over several kilometres during their first few months of life.
5. This study shows that the combination of water and otolith microchemistry analyses of fish growth increases the understanding of fish life history. Moreover, the study revealed that half of the YOY fish from this river section came from the tributaries and the other half came from reproduction in the River Rhône (despite its high anthropization).
6. These methods offer promising future applications of otolith microchemistry for river management in the context of ecological rehabilitation, especially to assess the effectiveness of measures applied in the restoration of floodplain connectivity for riverine fish population conservation.

Multiple otolith techniques aid stock discrimination of a broadly distributed deepwater fishery species, blue grenadier, Macruronus novaezelandiae     

Paul A. Hamer  Jodie KempSimon Robertson  Jeremy S. Hindell 《Fisheries Research》2012,113(1):21-34

This study investigated otolith shape, elemental chemistry of otolith cores (first 1-3 months of life), and stable isotope ratios (δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C) of whole otoliths as indicators of stock structure among three important southern Australian blue grenadier Macruronus novaezelandiae fishery regions; west Tasmania - WTAS, east Bass Strait - EBS, and Great Australian Bight - GAB. Comparisons were confined to two dominant cohorts of age 4+ and 13+ years, spawned in winter 2002 and 1993 respectively. Otolith shape varied significantly between the WTAS and GAB regions for the age 4+ cohort only. Cu:Ca of otolith cores was significantly higher for both cohorts from WTAS than EBS and GAB, and Ba:Ca of otolith cores higher for WTAS and EBS than the GAB region. Stable isotopic signatures showed greater variation among regions for the age 13+ cohort. In particular, otoliths of age 13+ fish from WTAS displayed significantly higher δ¹⁸O (indicative of lower temperature history) than age 4+ fish from all regions, and the same age fish from the GAB and EBS regions. δ¹⁸O of blue grenadier otoliths accurately predicted water temperature at their main capture depths of 400-600 m. Chemistry of otolith cores combined with whole otolith isotope ratios discriminated GAB and EBS samples from those collected on the known WTAS spawning ground with moderate to high (64-86%) accuracy. The results provide support for the hypotheses that the GAB fishery is based on a separate stock for management purposes, and that the EBS fishery is likely replenished both from local spawning and the major WTAS spawning region.  相似文献   

Coexistence of anadromous and lacustrine life histories of the shirauo, Salangichthys microdon   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

T. Arai  H. Hayano  H. Asami  N. Miyazaki 《Fisheries Oceanography》2003,12(2):134-139

The environmental history of the shirauo, Salangichthys microdon, was examined in terms of strontium (Sr) and calcium (Ca) uptake in the otolith, by means of wavelength dispersive X‐ray spectrometry on an electron microprobe. Anadromous and lacustrine type of the shirauo were found to occur sympatric. Otolith Sr concentration or Sr : Ca ratios of anadromous shirauo fluctuated strongly along the life‐history transect in accordance with the migration (habitat) pattern from sea to freshwater. In contrast, the Sr concentration or the Sr : Ca ratios of lacustrine shirauo remained at consistently low levels throughout the otolith. The higher ratios in anadromous shirauo, in the otolith region from the core to 90–230 μm, corresponded to the initial sea‐going period, probably reflecting the ambient salinity or the seawater–freshwater gradient in Sr concentration. The findings clearly indicated that otolith Sr : Ca ratios reflected individual life histories, enabling these anadromous shirauo to be distinguished from lacustrine shirauo.  相似文献   

Evaluation of a stable‐isotope labelling technique for mass marking fin rays of age‐0 lake sturgeon     

K. T. SMITH  G. W. WHITLEDGE 《Fisheries Management and Ecology》2011,18(2):168-175

Abstract The effectiveness of marking age‐0 lake sturgeon, Acipenser fulvescens Rafinesque, pectoral fin rays with a stable strontium isotope was evaluated. Age‐0 lake sturgeon were reared in water spiked with 0 (control), 25, 50 or 100 μg L^{?1 86}SrC0₃ for 10 and 24 days; fish from each treatment group were retained for up to 120 days post‐labelling to assess mark retention. Enriched‐isotope marks imparted to fin rays were distinct from fin ray ⁸⁸Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of control fish immediately following marking, with the 100 μg L^{?1 86}SrCO₃ treatments consistently yielding the highest rate of marking success (83–92%). Lower marking success (25–69%) was observed with the 25 and 50 μg L^{?1 86}SrCO₃ treatments. Isotopic marks in fin rays were retained for 120 days post‐labelling. Immersion marking of juvenile fish pectoral fin rays with distinct strontium isotope ratios is possible and does not require sacrificing fish to check for marks.  相似文献   

Validation of otolith increment daily periodicity in captive juvenile sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria) experimentally immersed in strontium chloride (SrCl2)     

《Fisheries Research》2007,84(2-3):246-252

We used a chemical marking experiment to validate the daily periodicity of otolith increment deposition in juvenile sablefish, Anoplopoma fimbria. The sagittal otoliths of 26 live juvenile sablefish were marked twice by immersion in saltwater baths containing elevated levels of strontium chloride (SrCl₂) during June–August of their first year of life (age 0). The number of otolith increments detected between strontium bands from three readings (median 15–20) was compared to the number of days between marking events (15–17 days). Median discrepancies between otolith increment counts and days between strontium bands were small (mean 1.1, S.E. 0.81, n = 20) and suggest that otolith increment counts from age 0 juvenile sablefish may provide a useful proxy for daily age. However, median discrepancies in June (mean 4.7, S.E. 0.65, n = 9 otoliths) were significantly (^*P ≤ 0.05) higher than those in July (mean −1.8, S.E. 0.40, n = 6) and August (mean −1.8, S.E. 0.66, n = 5). Increment banding patterns were more difficult to identify in otoliths marked in June (mean sablefish size 84.9 mm FL) because of changes in the structure of the sagittae associated with the formation of accessory primordia.  相似文献   

Elemental fingerprinting in otoliths reveals natal homing of anadromous Baltic Sea pike (Esox lucius L.)     

Olof Engstedt  Roland Engkvist  Per Larsson 《Ecology of Freshwater Fish》2014,23(3):313-321

We examined the element pattern in the otoliths of a migratory fish species that inhabit the coastal areas in the brackish of the Baltic Sea. The northern pike (Esox lucius) show migratory behaviour, spawning in streams and rivers and foraging in the sea. We examined spawning migration in four nearby streams in the south‐west part of the Baltic. Otolith analysis by microPIXE revealed unique elemental patterns (Sr, Zn, Br, Co and Mn) for the juveniles in each of the different streams. The strontium signal in the otolith of the juveniles was used as an indicator of freshwater origin and the time spent in the stream. Adult pike in their migrating spawning phase were caught in each of the streams. The elemental composition in otoliths in their freshwater phase (using juvenile pike in the streams as references) was determined. A principal component analysis showed that the elemental fingerprint during the freshwater phase several years back in time was similar for the adult fish and for juveniles inhabiting the stream today. The results indicated natal homing of the adults to a specific stream, a conclusion that was strengthened by the fact that marked fish returned to spawn over consecutive years. Anadromous pike in the Baltic Sea may thus be divided in subpopulations. The results of the study may have implications for fishery management, as pike in the Baltic Sea cannot be seen as homogenous population.  相似文献

Discrimination of the natal origin of young-of-the-year Allis shad (Alosa alosa) in the Garonne–Dordogne basin (south-west France) using otolith chemistry     

J. Tomás  S. Augagneur  E. Rochard 《Ecology of Freshwater Fish》2005,14(2):185-190

Abstract –  The otolith composition of age 0+ Allis shad ( Alosa alosa ) captured in two rivers in the Gironde system in south-west France, the Dordogne and the Garonne, was analysed to establish the natal origin of the fish. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analyses were used to take measurements of 15 isotopes, among which Co, Fe, Sr and Rb were the most important elements in the discrimination process. It was possible to reclassify each sampled fish into its natal river basin (Garonne or Dordogne) with a high degree of accuracy. Linear discriminant analysis correctly reclassified 91.1% of the Garonne samples and 87.8% of the Dordogne samples (mean success in reclassification in 20 runs ± 1 SD: 89.21 ± 8.6%). Artificial neural networks correctly reclassified 90.1% of the Garonne samples and 81.2% of the Dordogne samples (mean success in reclassification after 1000 training cycles ±1 SD: 85.6 ± 9.1%). Using these tools the present results show that it is possible to assign a natal origin to juvenile shad that hatched in the Dordogne–Garonne basin based on the trace elements in the otolith.  相似文献
