Description: Studies otolith shape variation among fish populations.
        Otoliths are calcified structures found in the inner ear of
        teleost fish and their shape has been known to vary among
        several fish populations and stocks, making them very useful in
        taxonomy, species identification and to study geographic
        variations. The package extends previously described software
        used for otolith shape analysis by allowing the user to
        automatically extract closed contour outlines from a large
        number of images, perform smoothing to eliminate pixel noise,
        choose from conducting either a Fourier or wavelet transform to
        the outlines and visualize the mean shape. The output of the
        package are independent Fourier or wavelet coefficients which
        can be directly imported into a wide range of statistical
        packages in R. The package might prove useful in studies of any
        two dimensional objects.
