  1. Age determination and validation on jack mackerel in IFOP-Chile: a brief reviewRodolfo Serra 2nd Meeting of the Scientific Committee South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organization Honolulu, Hawaii, USA1-7 October 2014 Instituto de Fomento Pesquero - Chile

  2. Age readings in Chile • For the age determination the left whole otolith is used, which is submerged in a Petri’s plate with black bottom, where the otolith is covered with transparent oil, and read under a stereoscopic microscope with magnification of 10X and using reflected light. • In fish, larger than 45 cm fork length a transversal section of the right otolith is used, which is polished and toasted. The section reading is complementary to the reading on the whole otolith to avoid bias in ageing the fish Instituto de Fomento Pesquero - Chile

  3. Jack Mackerel Age Validation • Age determination has been validated by the analysis of the border of the otolith first by Aguayo et al., (1981) and also by other researchers. • Also through daily rings; the age-size relationship shows a strong agreement for the two first ages in a work done by Araya et al. (1993). • Progression of Strong year-classes • Bomb Radiocarbon Analysis • The work done in Chile agrees with Nekrasov (1987) and Kochkin (1994) which identify one growth ring per year. • Independent review of the Chilean jack mackerel age determination done by IFOP by Dr. Beatriz Morales-Nin from the InstitutoMediterráneo de EstudiosAvanzados, Spain.

  7. Main conclusions of the Otolith Interpretation and Aging Workshop held in 2011 • The results of the age reading exercises show particularly good agreement when ageing otoliths of juveniles. • In juveniles it is far easier to identify the 1st and 2nd ring, although it is not always possible to do so. • For fish up to about age 11 there are reasonably high levels of agreement between readers. However, there are still high CVs on age readings, and statistically significant differences between readers. • In older fish, and particularly using whole otoliths, it is frequently difficult to identify the first one or two rings, and this then affects age readings for subsequent rings. • Use of otolith sections results in better ageing of larger fish (> 40 cm FL) than using whole otoliths.
