Analysis of stable oxygen isotopes in otoliths is a promising technique for estimating the ambient temperature experienced by fish, but consistent equations relating temperature and fractionation of stable oxygen isotopes in otoliths among different fish species are lacking. Juvenile cod were reared at constant temperatures from 6 to 20degreesC and the sagittal otoliths were analysed for oxygen isotope values. We determined that temperature-dependent fractionation of oxygen isotopes in the otoliths was close to that reported for inorganic aragonite at low temperatures, but there were deviations from oxygen isotope fractionation equations for otoliths of other species. The linear relationship between oxygen isotope value in the cod otoliths and temperature was determined to be: 1000 Ln alpha = 16.75 (10(3) TK-1) - 27.09. Temperature estimates with 1 degreesC precision at the 95% probability level require a sample size of greater than or equal to5 otoliths. Only an insignificant amount of the variance in the data was due to variance between left and right otolith, and due to repeated measurements of otolith subsamples. This study confirms that stable isotope values of cod otoliths can give precise and accurate estimates of the ambient temperature experienced by fish.
