This table lists the species for which we currently collect age samples, along with the structures and preparation methods for each one. Various additional species have been collected in the past, and structures collected historically may be different.
These templates were designed to automate the calculation of measures of ageing precision (including percent agreement, coefficient of variance, and symmetry tests) and plot results for paired age data.
It is important to ensure consistency in fish ages used in fish population assessments. The Fishery Biology Program in the Northeast conducts age and growth studies and completes regular testing to provide measures of consistency and accuracy.
Our team uses microchemical analyses to quantify salmon life history diversity across freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems to improve conservation, management, and recovery.
Our team performs stock assessments and studies demersal communities and habitat assemblages to ensure sustainable and effective management of marine ecosystems.
