Abstract：
This paper presents a dataset of 3D sagittal left otolith meshes from 339 individual red mullet (Mullus barbatus). These immature specimens were collected from 17 geographical areas covering the entire Mediterranean Sea. Measured biological parameters were: fish total length (TL ± 1 mm, range from 125 to 238 mm), total weight (W ± 0.1 g, range from 14.9 to 168.0 g), sex (S), sexual maturity staging (Mat). The 3D otolith dataset comprises high-resolution meshes of otoliths obtained using microtomography (29.2 μm voxel size). The data offer valuable insights into the morphological variability and population structure of red mullet populations in the Mediterranean Sea. Potential applications of the dataset include age determination, stock identification, and population connectivity analysis. These applications aim to enhance the understanding of red mullet populations and contribute to the sustainable management of marine resources in the Mediterranean Sea.
摘要：
本文介绍了来自339个红鱼（Mullusbarbatus）的3D矢状左耳石网格数据集。这些未成熟的标本是从覆盖整个地中海的17个地理区域收集的。测得的生物学参数为：鱼的总长度（TL±1mm，范围从125到238毫米)，总重量(W±0.1g,范围从14.9到168.0克)，sex(S),性成熟分期（垫）。3D耳石数据集包括使用显微层析成像获得的高分辨率耳石网格(29.2μπι体素尺寸)。这些数据为地中海红鱼种群的形态变异性和种群结构提供了宝贵的见解。数据集的潜在应用包括年龄确定，库存识别,和人口连通性分析。这些应用旨在增进对红乌鱼种群的了解，并为地中海海洋资源的可持续管理做出贡献。
