Telling the Age of a Fish.
From the Scientific American.


The age of fish can be determined
with accuracy by inspection of the oto-
liths or bony concretions which are found
in the auditory apparatus. These otoliths
increase in size during the entire life OF
the fish, each year adding two layers, Il
light colored layer formed in summer
and a dark layer formed in autumn and
winter.
The alternate layers are sharply con-
trasted and very distinct. so that there is
no difficulty in counting them. The num-
ber of pairs of layers is equal to the num-
ber of years the fish has lived. By this
method Wallace has made an interesting
study of the distribution of fishes of the
plaice species over various sea bottoms
according TO age In this way the rapid
ty of growth of fishes and the effect OF
fisheries on the population of the sea can
be determined.
