- Primary Growth Rings in otoliths of Some Clupeids from Sri Lanka
- Abstract
This paper describes the otolith structure and the pattern of ring deposition of four species belonging to the family Clupeidae from the coastal waters of Sri Lanka.
The otoliths of all these species were found to contain primary growth rings which could be used in age determination. The structure of the otolith and the ring deposition pattern of the clupeids studied were similar to each other and to Sardinella spp.
Age estimates were made by assuming that these rings are formed ...- Publication Date
