Abstract
A comparative study of ageing methods for whiting was conducted using vertebrae, whole otoliths and broken-burnt otoliths. Whole otoliths an d vertebral readings produced lower precision and underestimation than broken and burnt otoliths, which are therefore proposed as the most a ppropriate ageing method for this species.
