Re: [GSAS-Member] Fish Body to Donate for Scientific Research
Yep, it's me. I contacted Susan privately with several options, but if
others have known age fish that die, I would love to examine their
otoliths and attempt to figure out the growth patterns. The fish need to
be more than 1 year of age, and I can't guarantee that I'll be able to
even find the otolith in some species. The larger the otolith, the easier
it is to find....and some really huge fish (like tuna/mackerels) have very
very small otoliths that are very difficult to extract (shrug). You don't
really know what to look for until you try to find it <G>. Maybe, if I can
accumulate enough otoliths, and I can make sense out of the patterns, we
could put together a short program for you all at some point in time.
