Otolith shape analyses and dimensions of the Anchovy Engraulis encrasicolus L. in the Black and Marmara Seas

Otoliths, which can be used for the evaluation of relationships between the environment and organisms, are structures consisting of calcium carbonate. The aim of this study was to realize the shape analysis. In addition, it is to detect the characteristics of otolith biometrics in order to determine...
