| 释义 | otolith noun[ C ] anatomy specializeduk /ˈəʊ.tə.lɪθ/ us /ˈoʊ.t̬oʊ.lɪθ/ any of the very small pieces of bone-like material found in the inner ear of people and animals that help them recognize movement of their body: The vestibular hair cells are located in the otolith organs, where they detect linear movements of the head. Otoliths grow as fish grow, and a ring or band is added to the bone every year. When the head position changes, the otoliths "roll" in gelatinous material, responding to gravitational pull. The sudden dramatic falling spells are thought to result from a sudden pressure change across one of the otolith organs of the inner ear. Fish were identified using otolith morphology.

The hypothesis assumes that debris from the otolith organ becomes attached to the cupula of the posterior semicircular canal. For the study herein, croaker ages were estimated based on month and location of capture and on the presence/ absence of an otolith annulus. The sudden dramatic falling spells (otolithic crises) are thought to result from a sudden pressure change across one of the otolith organs of the inner ear. Most commonly, the growth of fish is measured by collecting individuals of varying sizes, measuring their length and determining their age by the otoliths.
