ARIANI, A. P., F. MARMO, G. BALSAMO, E. FRANCO & K. J. WITTMANN, 1983: The mineral composition of statoliths in relation to taxonomy and ecology of mysids. Rapports de la Commission internationale pour l'Exploration scientifique de la Mer Méditerranée, 28 (6): 333-336.
Results of X-ray diffraction studies on the statoliths of several species of Mysidae show that calcareous (vaterite) statoliths are exclusively present in some species of the tribe Mysini. These species inhabit brackish-fresh waters or have some of their populations in such environments. They probably descend from brackish-water forms evolved in the Paratethys.
