Workshop on Age Reading of Seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

 

 

 

The objectives of this first workshop were to review, document and make recommenda-tions on current methods of ageing sea bass.

​​​​​This workshop was preceded by otolith exchanges in 2011 and 2013, which were undertaken using WebGR.

The workshop achieved quite a lot in terms of ironing out, through discussion and calibration, some of the major difficulties in ageing otoliths of sea bass. This group recommend use of scales for sea bass ageing. For future exchanges, it would be beneficial to compare unstained otolith sections with transmitted and reflected lights and stained otolith sections, with the scales. For scale exchanges, the group recommend the use of multiple scale images (or videos) for each fish. The group reached agreement on a definition of an ageing guideline and a reference collection presented in this report and the aim is to employ these tools for all laboratories.
