Abstract
There is evidence that daily growth rings are deposited in the sagitta otolith of larvae and juvenile Atlantic silversides, Menidia menidia. The growth rings are a function of age alone, and can be used as a tool to age young Atlantic silversides. Growth rings deposited in the asteriscus otolith were unreliable indicators of daily age.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
