| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
There are many studied on fishes migrating between the sea and fresh water areas using Sr-Ca ratio in the otolith, however, it is difficult to describe the difference between brackish and sea water areas by that ratio. We made an attempt to use the oxygen stable isotopic study for estimating migration history of fishes in the brackish area. The relationship between water salinity and oxygen stable isotopic values in otoliths was examined for Oryzias latipes, caught from fresh and brackish water areas of Hii River system. The relationships between salinity and δ18O values of water and otolith are respectively linear. Rareing experiments in some conditions of controlled temperture and salinity showed that the relationships between salinites and δ18O values are also linear and the temperature effect is quite limited. We suggest that the analysis of oxygen stable isotope in otoliths will provide a powerful tool for the documentation of fish migratory behavior in brackish waters.
