Age determination in yellowtail flounder on the Grand Bank: a new approach
The standard age reading method was compared with a new method for ageing yellowtail flounder at the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Centre. The standard method of reading whole otoliths was found to be inadequate after the age of 7 years old. Length-frequency analysis gave estimates of length at age f...
