YC versus Age Assignment
Age assignment typically uses an
arbitrary birthday making it difficult to
standardize
N
• Collected January 2005
• Jan B-day=3, Jun B-day=2
• 2002 YC (2.6 years old)

Time of CollectionFish collected in the same year with equal number of annuli may not be
the same age

Sources of Age Estimation Error
“A validated ageing method confirms the frequency of formation of growth increments in a given structure, and confirms that they have been interpreted correctly by the age readers in the study. However, there is no guarantee that the same interpretation would be reached by other age readers, even when viewing the same structures.”S. E. Campana (2001)

Methods to Improve Accuracy
• Training and practice
• Consensus age estimates
• Testing
