摘要: The morphology and morphometrics of the sagittal otoliths of small yellow croaker (Larimichthys polyactis) from the southern Yellow Sea were investigated. Study objectives were to evaluate the shape variability and morphometric variables of sagittae of juveniles and adults as related to developmental changes and habit shift. A total of 152 fish were sampled from April to June of 2012 and 2013, along the coastal waters of the Lusi spawning ground in the southern Yellow Sea. Changes in otolith shapes from the juvenile to the adult were presented with the rim development through the entire-lobed-entire transition and with the curvature of the cauda toward the ventral margin. The otolith elongation in the juvenile stage occurred at 10-20 mm standard length (SL) and was likely associated with the formation of otolith accessory growth centers from larvae to juvenile. The L. polyactis sagittal otoliths acquired their definitive shape at 130 mm SL maturity. Ontogeny on otolith shape might be related, for example, to the factors of metamorphic development, feeding habitat, and ambient water salinity, which varied throughout the growth of L. polyactis.
