Unmasking pipefish otolith using synchrotron-based scanning X-ray fluorescence

Abstract Scientists use otoliths to trace fish life history, especially fish migrations. Otoliths incorporate signatures of individual growth and environmental use. For many species, distinct increment patterns in the otolith are difficult to discern; thus, questions remain about crucial life histor...
