Age determination of tropical fishes and squids in Indonesia

Country
Indonesia

Description

[Synopsis]

Age and growth of fishes and squids distributed in Indonesia were estimated by analyzing daily growth increments in otolith. Ground otoliths were observed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Three of eight species, Atherinomorus lacunosus, Sphaeramia ordicularis and Sepioteuthis lessoniana, had clear increments which enabled the estimation of age in days. We additionally verified the daily periodicity of increment formation of Sphaeramia orbicularis under rearing experiments.
