Natal origin and age-specific egress of Pacific bluefin tuna from coastal nurseries revealed with geochemical markers

Abstract Geochemical chronologies were constructed from otoliths of adult Pacific bluefin tuna (PBT) to investigate the timing of age-specific egress of juveniles from coastal nurseries in the East China Sea or Sea of Japan to offshore waters of the Pacific Ocean. Element:Ca chronologies were develo...
