Otolith microchemistry (Sr:Ca, Ba:Ca) was used to evaluate habitat use patterns of the endangered dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus in southern Brazil. Individual Sr:Ca profiles exhibited low variation, with an overall tendency to increase with age. Interestingly, individual Ba:Ca profiles presented 3 contrasting patterns:the first comprised most sampled individuals (>80%), mostly indicative of the predominant use of marine waters throughout their life history; the second pattern (similar to 10% of all individuals) indicated that dusky grouper may use or remain in or near estuarine waters for short time periods; finally, the third identified pattern (similar to 5%) comprised individuals remaining in estuarine waters for long periods and provided the first evidence for this species of prolonged estuarine habitat use (over a year), in particular during juvenile life stages.
