Descripción
Fish ageing methods based on growth increments in otoliths are described in detail. A short introduction describes otolith extraction, preparation and viewing techniques, emphasizing the study of microscopic daily growth increments. Light and scanning electron microscope viewing methods and criteria for interpretation are described. The need to test the findings is explained and age validation techniques described.
