Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) otolith age determination manual / by Shayne E. MacLellan, Joanne Groot and Judy McArthur.: Fs97-6/3417E-PDF
"This manual describes protocols used by the Fisheries and Oceans Canada Sclerochronology Lab program at the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo, British Columbia to prepare otoliths to determine the age of Pacific hake (Merluccius productus). Production of best quality age data is dependent on producing high quality preparations as well as consistent and correct application of criteria to interpret annual growth patterns. The manual sets out procedures which have evolved and were developed to be the current operational standards for the DFO Pacific Region. A further purpose is to provide information to other agencies and individuals wishing to employ established otolith methods for Pacific hake age determination"--Abstract, page v.
