Abstract
This work reviews various contemporary approaches to fish life history reconstruction , highlighting the diverse array of techniques and applications employed and their potential and implications for fisheries management and conservation. By integrating data from otolith microchemistry, stable isotope analysis, genetic techniques, telemetry, and environmental monitoring, researchers can reconstruct detailed life histories for fish populations, elucidating their behaviour, habitat use, and responses to environmental change. These approaches offer invaluable insights into fish biology, ecology, and population dynamics, informing sustainable fisheries management strategies, habitat conservation efforts, and climate change adaptation measures. Through interdisci-plinary collaboration and technological innovation, contemporary approaches to fish life history reconstruction are advancing our understanding of aquatic ecosystems. They are also promoting the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources, enabling more targeted and effective management strategies.
