Resumen de Juvenile European anchovy otolith microstructure

Beatriz Morales Nin, Andrés Uriarte Seminario, Pablo Cermeño

• Juvenile European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) has a complex incremental growth pattern that was studied using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope observations. Daily increments were identified and related to rhythmic growth patterns while double-band structures were identified as one increment. The causes of these growth patterns are discussed.
