Collected my first pair of otoliths! #sierrafishes

Very happy to be at #WFC2024 in Seattle. Giving a talk about seabass 👀 and 👂tomorrow (tues) at 9am! Come say hi if you're around 🙌 #otoliths #tags #connectivity

Our paper 'Magnetic actuation of otoliths allows behavioral and brain-wide neuronal exploration of vestibulo-motor processing in larval zebrafish' is online in #CurrentBiology . Congratulations Natalia and the rest of the authors! Full text here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1hCca3QW8S2Q…

Part 2. The three species being looked at are the Fafai'a, Red snapper and the Nanwe. This involves collecting the gonads and the otoliths. Pictured are the Fafai'a and Red snapper, as well as the removal of the otoliths.

If the venerable Otoliths hadn’t closed its operations, going by my track record of the last 32 issues, I would have showcased a suite of verses today. But that is not so. I am sharing a poem from Issue 45 to celebrate Otoliths and honor its editor, Mark Young. Thank you for…

Had the venerable Otoliths not closed down, going by my track record in the last 32 issues, today, I would have showcased a suite of verses in its latest release. But that is not so. Celebrating Otoliths and saluting Mark Young, its editor, I’m sharing a poem from Issue 51.…

Prepping white sea catfish otoliths for analysis!😁
Catfish were eaten during the Middle Stone Age in South Africa—their otoliths might be able to tell us the season of catch! First step is to check if it is possible with these present day otoliths 👀 #Archaeology

Yesterday we took pectoral fin spines from Channel Catfish and collected/pulled Silver Carp and Blue Sucker otoliths! Always a good time on the Big Sioux ☺️

I’m happy to share an acceptance from Suburban Witchcraft for its Issue 5.

Warm thanks to Mirjana M.

As this is my first time with the journal, I have no published poem to share.

Keeping the drill on, I’m posting one from Otoliths Issue Fifty.

The semicircular canals and otoliths of a Gulf Sturgeon we salvaged from Dauphin Island (second one from AL waters this month).

Last day of excavations at #BlombosCave for the 2023 season can’t end without a classic stratigraphy picture. 😁

Two more ~95kya catfish #otoliths found, so a great season in my book! 🐟 ☺️

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo - displacement of NL calcium crystals (otoliths) w/ abNL stimulation of vestibular system; s/s: vertigo (spinning sensation) triggered by specific changes in head position, positional nystagmus; Dx: Dix-Hallpike; Rx: Epley or Semont maneuver

Hey Twitterrati, NEED YOU HELP. We have some degraded otoliths from a fish stomach we can't identify. They are found in a marine fish and are 7-10 mm long. You can see them in the picture. Tell what fish they are from and I will tell you what fish species that ate them😉

Here at MTU Research we have an amazing opportunity for a graduate student starting in 2024, funded by the Michigan Sea Grant, to study how lake trout in Lake Superior have responded to climate change by applying dendrochronology to otoliths (fish ear bones). Details below. Pls RT

Our fish otolith journey goes to the tropics.

Introducing our latest postdoc, fish physiologist extraordinaire Alexia Dubuc! She's doing in situ validation work & historical reconstructions using tagged & wild #Baltic #cod #otoliths & eye lenses to link #hypoxia exposure to fitness! Welcome! University of Essex DTU St_Haase

Got the chance to help sampling some Golden perch yesterday. Just how beautiful are those #otoliths ?! ✨

SIXTY not TWENTY - This deep sea fish is popular in Japan where it is a delicacy called #Kinmedai . Age estimated from whole otoliths to 24 years, but sectioned otoliths and bomb radiocarbon dating indicate they can live 60 years.
