Fish are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates. They are also one of the most
important protein sources for the growing human population and play an essential role in …

The age of whole otoliths from barramundi (Lates calcarifer) obtained from the southern Gulf
of Carpentaria were estimated using Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy …

It is a challenge to identify Uroteuthis chinensis and Uroteuthis edulis, which widely
distributed in the coast of China, due to their morphological similarity. Trace elements in …

Ages of Chilean jack mackerel (Trachurus murphyi) in the southern Pacific Ocean were
validated using three methods: 1) daily microincrement readings in sagittal otoliths of young …

Understanding age and growth of fishes is critical for making meaningful management
decisions. Obtaining useful information is dependent on using the best structure (eg, scale …

The present work aimed to record the first presence of abnormal age rings in Cathorops
spixii lapillus otoliths from Cananeia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoon Complex (CIELC), Southern …

Studies to determine precision and bias of both methods and age-readers are important to
evaluate reliability of age data used for developing fisheries management objectives. We …

Some fish species can be used as target species and bioindicators of environmental
disturbances. In this context, biological indicators such as the length, weight, and height of …

Reliable and low-cost age otolith readings are important in ageing and growth analyses of
fishes. A standardized method, based on the work of Christensen (1964), is presented here …

The South African spearfishery targets a variety of data-deficient species, which are
consequently poorly managed. This study aimed to describe the age and growth of one of …
