Otolith
microchemistry: Validation of the effects of physiology, age and environment on otolith composition.
Patterns of migration in Hudson River striped bass as determined by otolith
microchemistry. Fish.
For example, results of otolith
microchemistry indicate that Hornaday and Brock River anadromous char are strikingly similar in ecology and life history traits (e.g., age-at-first-migration and frequency of migration to sea), which suggests that they could be from the same stock (Roux et al., 2011b).
Microfluidic technologies have found many applications in fields such as medical diagnostics, biotechnology and
microchemistry [1], Many of the devices used in these fields contain various micro-sized features which have geometries such as channels, pillars, wells, ridges, and arrays of features, the dimensions of which are orders of magnitude smaller than the structured surface area [2], The successful development of such devices is highly dependent on manufacturing technologies which can help replicate microfeatures reliably and economically in mass production.
Norman Halden from the University of Manitoba developed the technique offish otolith
microchemistry and the Yukon Research Centre, Access Consulting Group, and Na-cho Nyak Dun First Nation applied it on fish from the Keno Hill mining district.

Combined use of otolith
microchemistry and morphometry as indicators of the habitat of the silverside (Odontesthes bonariensis) in a freshwater-estuarine environment.

Through an approach dubbed "nanomaterials by design," Sisson and coprincipal investigators Diran Apelian, Alcoa-Howmet Professor of Mechanical Engineering at WPI and director of the university's Metal Processing Institute (MPI), along with Makhlouf Makhlouf, director the MPI's Aluminum Casting Research Center, are using a variety of modeling techniques in concert with laboratory studies to predict the microstructure and
microchemistry of new alloys.
I tell young people that the new technologies of computing, telecommunication, optical detection and
microchemistry actually empower the amateur to do things that only professionals could do before.
