Vertebral elemental markers in elasmobranchs : potential for reconstructing environmental history and population structure

Creator:

Smith, Wade D.

Abstract:

Differences in the chemical composition of calcified structures can be used to reveal natal origins, connectivity, metapopulation structure, and reconstruct the environmental history or movement patterns of many marine organisms. Sharks, skates, and rays (elasmobranchs) lack the calcified structures, known as otoliths, that are typically used for geochemical studies of...
