The influence of oceanic and lagoonal plume waters on otolith chemistry
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To determine how ocean and lagoonal plume waters from within the same reef were reflected in the chemical composition of otoliths, we conducted an experiment over three consecutive summers where conditions of temperature and food were held constant. Presettlement Pomacentrus coelestis were held in replicate tanks of the two water masses for 9 days. The sagittae were then analyzed at high spatial resolution (5 µm × 50 µm × 4 µm) using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Ba/Ca and Sr/Ca varied between water masses and the rank of these elemental ratios changed among years. Although the reason for this change in rank is not known, likely mechanisms include upwelling and (or) the episodic appearance of phytoplankton blooms inside the lagoon. This is the first demonstration that the elemental signatures of otoliths can vary significantly over small spatial scales in reef systems in the absence of confounding factors, thus complicating studies attempting to discriminate reef-based stocks or elucidate natal origins using otolith chemistry.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
