There is a new theory extant that 1t
is possible to determine the age Of
fishes especially those Of the cod fami-
~, by counting the periodic growth OF
the scales.
We know that the growth Of the
scales 10 annual IN the carp. Why
should II not be SO IN salt water fishes?
Mr.. j. S. Thomson, an English biolo.
gist Of note, has been making some In
tercsting experiments In this line to
test the age Of fishes.
The scales are first carefully exam
ined, then the fishes are labeled and
returned to the sea for future observa-
ton.
In some cases a study Of the scales
reveals changes, SO that the ringa In
the scales can be distinctly traced
from year TO year with certain fixed
regularity. Globe.
