Four different techniques for determining the stock structure of a marine fish species were compared, using as a subject the jackass morwong. The four techniques examined were allozyme analysis, mitochondrial DNA analysis and two techniques based on measuring the composition of otoliths ('ear...
This project reports on:
1) our detailed evaluation of current methodologies for otolith chemical analysis, and our recommended procedures when electron probe microanalysis is used for stock delineation in finfish
2) our assessment of the accuracy and precision of otolith probe microanalysis...
