Innovative Technology Helps Scientists Better Estimate Ages of Long-Lived Rockfish
Scientists are able to evaluate more data in less time to support sustainable Alaska Fisheries. Scientists demonstrate that an innovative technology to scan fish otoliths (ear stones) coupled with trained computer models can determine rockfish ages as well as humans, and even more quickly. This technology, Fourier-transform near-infrared spectroscopy, examines the unique vibrations of molecules […]
