These small gobies have high mortalities and rearing difficulties, making direct validation difficult. The otoliths were marked by immersing the fish in a bath of alizarin red S. The fishes were euthanatized and the number of increments in their otoliths laid down after the fluorescent mark were counted and compared with the number of elapsed days. The results validated the daily periodicity of <em>Aphia minuta</em> and <em>Pseudaphya ferreri</em>. The high mortality hindered the validation of <em>Crystallogobius linearis</em>.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Scientia Marina}, author={Pérez-Mayol, Sílvia and Álvarez, Itziar and Riera-Batle, Inmmaculada and Grau, Amalia and Morales-Nin, Beatriz}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={169–173} }
