Length-At-Age in Juvenile Patagonian Toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides)
We used the otoliths from a sample of Dissostichus eleginoides pre-recruits, whose length density was distinctly polymodal, to see whether ages estimated by reading otoliths were congruent with the length modes observed. Length densities by age were compared graphically with the overall length densi...
