Quantitative reconstruction of salinity history by otolith oxygen stable isotopes: An example of a euryhaline fish Lateolabrax japonicus.

This study demonstrated that otolith temporal microstructure and δ18 Ooto values are well-suited approaches for quantitative reconstruction of salinity histories of the fish. This method can improve the understanding of the habitat uses of other fishes inhabiting diverse habitats among the rivers, estuaries and oceans.
