To Tell a Fish's Age.
Could you tell the age of a fish if
asked to do so?
It has been found that the age of a
fish may be read from its scales,
These increase in size by annular
growths, two rings being formed each
year. The “otoliths," or ear stones,
which lie in two sacs on either side of
the base of the cranial cavity, afford
another weans of determination.
Like the scales, the otoliths increase
by two rings annually. Each spring a
white ring is formed, and each autumn
a black the number of
either white or black rings in an oto-
lith gives the age of the fish in years.
In the case of flatfish the latter meth-
od been found more reliable,
