1986 5Ze haddock age comparisons by two Canadian agers / by M. Strong.: Fs70-8/87-95E-PDF

"An alternative age reader for the 5Ze haddock stock was assigned in 1987, and a new preparation technique was employed. Comparative readings of 1986 commercial and research survey samples were completed. Results indicate an average of 76% agreement for commercial samples, and 92% agreement for research survey samples. The new reader tended to over-age 19.6% relative to the former reader. Ages from 1986 and 1987 samples confirmed the predominance of the same year-classes, and no significant differences in age interpretation were disclosed by the new age reader"--Abstract, page 2.
