Maintenance and Update Frequency: unknown Statement: Instruments used: balances, microscopes, measuring boards. Balances are calibrated annually. Fish otoliths are returned to lab where they are readied for ageing through preparation of transverse sections. Data are stored in species-specific Access databases that are saved to SARDI's network drive. 1st January 2000 to July 2012. Data are collected for two of the three species per year, with an annual change over between species. Sample size Varies from week to week depending on availability of fish in the market. Credit South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI) Aquatic Sciences Biological data for three primary fishery species of the Marine Scalefish fishery, South Australia i.e. King George whiting, Snapper, Southern Garfish. This includes estimates of size, age, weight, sex, reproductive maturity. Data have been collected by an on-going market sampling program between 2000 and 2012.
