Atomic emission experiments on whole otoliths of the chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytcha) show that a statistically significant relationship exists between otolith ion content (Fr, Zn, Mn, Na, Sr, P), ambient temperature, body length and otolith weight amongst individuals maintained under controlled diet and water conditions. Direct proton microprobe studies confirm these results and suggest that it may be possible to recover the temperature life history of individual fishes from the otolith.
对奇努克鲑（Oncorhynchus tshawytcha）整个耳石进行的原子发射实验表明，在受控饮食和水质条件下饲养的个体中，耳石离子含量（Fr、Zn、Mn、Na、Sr、P）、环境温度、体长和耳石重量之间存在具有统计学意义的关系。直接质子微探针研究证实了这些结果，并表明有可能从耳石中恢复个体鱼类的温度生活史。
