Daily variations in total plasma calcium ([tot Ga]) were also recorded. Significant diurnal fluctuations occurred in most parameters and the spatial heterogeneity of the endolymph composition was maintained throughout a 24 h period. The main parameters implicated in otolith calcification, endolymph [tot CO2] and endolymph [protein], fluctuated diurnally, [tot CO2] was highest and [protein] lowest at night; the relative concentrations were reversed during the day. The inverse, alternating relationship of maximal and minimal [tot CO2] and [protein] implies that calcium carbonate and organic matrix rates of deposition vary in antiphase. We therefore propose that in the turbot P. maxima, in autumn, the incremental zone (L-zone) is formed at night whereas the discontinuous zone (D-zone) is formed during the daytime.
