Stress induced by substantial skeletal deformities in pike fry is not reflected in otolith fluctuating asymmetry: An experiment and literature review
2022, Fisheries ResearchCitation Excerpt :The random deviation from a perfect bilateral system as a result of developmental stress can be observed in different organs. In fish, the occurrence of a link between the fitness of a given individual or group of individuals and FA can be studied, for example, by analyzing otolith size or shape asymmetry (recently, Jawad et al., 2017; Bostanci et al., 2018; Yedier et al. 2018a, 2018b; Fey et al., 2020; Greszkiewicz and Fey, 2020; Ben Labidi et al., 2020; Jawad and Adams, 2021; Jawad et al., 2021a, 2021b). Otoliths are stone-like calcium carbonate structures that grow throughout the lifetimes of fish, playing an important role in fish hearing and balance systems (Popper and Fay, 1993; Wright et al., 2002).
