Timing of Increment Formation in Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (Thunnus thynnus) Otoliths
Controversies remain regarding the periodicity, or seasonality, of otolith growth band formation, which directly influences a correct age determination of Atlantic bluefin tuna using this structure.The aim of this work was to apply marginal increment analysis and marginal edge analysis to determine the timing of band deposition.The index of complet
