Transfer of lipofuscin technology to the Central Ageing Facility

Lipofuscin is a metabolic by-product that accumulates in tissue of the nervous system, particularly the brain, and its occurrence has been shown to be widespread in crustaceans. Because it accumulates in the nervous tissue over time, the concentration of lipofuscin can be related to...

Revolutionising fish ageing: Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Age Fish

Results from the current ‘proof of concept’ study indicate that near infrared (NIR) spectra collected from fish otoliths have potential to estimate the age of Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) and Snapper (Pagrus auratus), with performance varying between species and locality of capture. A...

The development of an index for the prediction of catches of blacklip and greenlip abalone, and a technique for ageing these species

The scientific literature has generally accepted that abalone populations are characterised by low levels of settlement and recruitment (Tegner in press), that mortality is relatively low (Doi et al. 1977; Beinssen and Powell 1979; Sainsbury 1982; Shepherd et al. 1982; Fournier and Breen 1983) and...
