Abstract
Abstract The rigid, polycrystalline otolith of teleosts is a side‐branch of the general evolution of endolymphatic otoconia that extends from the sharks and rays to the higher vertebrates including man. The transition from the otoconial mass found in the endolymphatic sac of sharks and rays to the rigid polycrystalline otolith of teleosts probably occurred by progressive fusion of otoconia from a loose aggregate to a semi‐rigid mass. Traces of the primitive fused otoconia type of otolith still occur in the otherwise polycrystalline otoliths of some teleosts, and a few species of fish retain otoliths that are probably similar to the primitive fused otoconia type of otolith. The morphology of the fusion of otoconia varies according to the polymorph of calcium carbonate that is involved, as well as the particular crystal habit of the polymorph. Analyses of the size distributions of the polymorph‐specific morphologies and crystal structure of otoconia suggest that three physical chemical processes, Ostwald ripening, Keith‐Padden spherulitic growth and carbonate cementation are significant in the chemistry of fusion of otoconia in the evolution of the aragonite teleost otolith. Predictions of otoconia growth rate from the theory of Ostwald ripening can be compared with predictions from the Keith‐Padden theory of spherulitic growth.
