First, the sensory ability of vision and hearing/balance is investigated from retinal ganglion cells and otolith morphology to predict functional behaviours. Second, the examination of otolith microstructure gives a clue of life history traits, such as the age and the growth rate. Third, the signals of stable oxygen and carbon isotopes in the otolith facilitate reconstructing chronological vertical migration and metabolism of deep-sea fish.
