    Accurate age estimation is essential for population dynamics modeling and fisheries management. Otoliths serve as a critical resource for age determination in ichthyological studies, capitalizing on the embedded growth increments. The periodicity of these increments, however, requires thorough validation to confirm the accuracy of age assessments. This study validated daily increment deposition in sagittal otoliths of young-of-year Pagellus acarne from & Ccedil;anakkale, Turkey using Alizarin Red S (ARS), a fluorescent calcium-binding marker. Specimens (n=107; 1.8-4.7cm TL) were exposed to ARS concentrations of 0 (control), 50, 100, 150, 200, and 300mg/L for 24h, then reared 13 days. After a recovery period of 13 days, the second dyeing was performed with the aim of having a specific fluorescent mark to test the 13 rings found between the 2 fluorescent marks. Otoliths were examined under fluorescent microscopy. ARS marks were detectable in 81.57% of otoliths at >= 100mg/L, with the highest visibility at 300mg/L. Survival exceeded 84.2% across treatments. Increment counts between the first and second ARS marks (13 days) and from the second mark to the edge (20 days) matched elapsed time. Ages from wild fish (n=95) ranged 39-201 days with a growth rate of 0.176mm/day. This research demonstrates ARS is an effective, low-impact tool for periodicity validation and provides the basis for accurate age determination and population modeling of this ecologically important species in the region.

    Validation of Daily Growth Increment Deposition in Sagittal Otoliths of the Young of the Year Lithognathus mormyrus
    (Springer Int Publ Ag, 2024) Ayyildiz, Hakan; Kurtkaya, Emre; Celik, Pinar; Altin, Aytac; Bulut, Musa
    This paper aims to validate the micro increment deposition in the sagittal otoliths of young of the year (YOY) Lithognathus mormyrus in the shallow waters of canakkale, Turkey. Wild YOY specimens of L. mormyrus were captured and reared to validate the daily micro increment formation in sagittal otoliths. The formation of daily sagittal micro increments was validated using by alizarin Red S (ARS), at a concentration of 0 (control), 50 mg/lt, 100 mg/lt, 150 mg/lt, 200 mg/lt and 300 mg/lt. The natural photoperiod was applied, and no food was given throughout the marking period. The tanks kept strongly aerated to maintain the pH similar to 7. YOY fish were kept in different aquariums for 17 days post-dyeing and then re-dyeing as before and kept alive for a further 20 days. ARS marks were clearly observed in 71.7% of the YOY L. mormyrus sagittal otoliths under a fluorescent microscope. However, no mark could be observed in any of the samples of 50 mg/lt ARS treatment. Chi2 tests revealed that the linear regressions of the number of micro increments between ARS marks against number of elapsed times was not statistically significant. This result showed that micro increment deposition on the sagitta were laid down daily under the experimental conditions and can be used to detect the daily age information for YOY L. mormyrus.
