Morphological characteristics of otoliths for selected fish in the Northwest Atlantic
The relationships between otolith dimensions and fish size for six demersal and two pelagic species were examined and found to be both curvilinear and species-specific. Otolith morphometric observations included length for all species examined and weight, width, volume, cross-sectional area and loca...
