The variability of sulcus acusticus of sagittal otolith in target species (trawl survey) of triglids (red gurnard Aspitrigla cuculus, tub gurnard Chelidonichthys lucerna and grey gurnard Eutrigla gurnardus) from the Adriatic Sea was analysed for intra- and inter-specific discrimination purposes. Significant differences in sulcus morphometry and microstructure among species and between juveniles and adults were found, that could be related to eco-morphological adaptations of the auditory system.

Abstract
The variability of sulcus acusticus of sagittal otolith in target species (trawl survey) of triglids (red gurnard Aspitrigla cuculus, tub gurnard Chelidonichthys lucerna and grey gurnard Eutrigla gurnardus) from the Adriatic Sea was analysed for intra- and inter-specific discrimination purposes. Significant differences in sulcus morphometry and microstructure among species and between juveniles and adults were found, that could be related to eco-morphological adaptations of the auditory system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
