The application of the otolith weight as an estimator of age in the anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus

This study deals with the potential application of otolith weight as an estimator of age in the anchovy, Engraulis encrasicolus, caught in the Novigrad Sea (eastern mid-Adriatic Sea) from March to October 2002. The linear relationship between otolith weight and the estimated age (determined from otolith annuli) of 312 anchovy individuals was established (OW=0.902T+0. 461, r2=0.939).
